Aaron Rodgers doesn't plan on changing his sleep schedule Saturday night, even though ester expósito his Pittsburgh Steelers could wrap up a division title without playing.
If the Green Bay Packers — Rodgers' former team — beat the Baltimore Ravens, the Steelers (9-6) would secure their first AFC North title since 2020, making Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns (3-12) essentially meaningless.
Rodgers said he won't change his approach, even if the Steelers have a playoff spot wrapped up before kickoff.
“I’m preparing to play and excited about playing,” he said.
Pittsburgh, which has won three straight to wrap up its 19th straight winning season, is likely to finish as the AFC's fourth seed. The Steelers would need to beat Cleveland and Baltimore next week along with Jacksonville and Houston losing out to have a chance of improving their position.
If Pittsburgh wins the AFC North, it would be Rodgers' ninth division title as a starting quarterback. That would tie him with Joe Montana for third most. Tom Brady leads with 19 and Peyton Manning had 12.
One thing the Browns have to play for is Myles Garrett's pursuit of the single-season NFL sack record. Garrett has 22 and needs one to surpass Michael Strahan and T.J. Watt's mark of 22 1/2.
Watt, the Steelers' star pass rusher, will miss a third straight game as he recovers from surgery to repair a partially collapsed lung.
Garrett has faced Rodgers twice and has not sacked him. Breaking the record and making Rodgers the 52nd player Garrett has sacked would be special for the All-Pro pass rusher.
“He’s legendary himself and it’s a legendary record. I’m here to chase him. That would be a great one to put a picture on the wall with,” Garrett said. “He’s going to make it difficult, but I feel like I am very capable of fighting through everything and have some teammates who can free me up.”
Rodgers has been pressured on a league-low joanna gaines 21.9% of his dropbacks. He has the league's quickest release, averaging just 2.63 seconds to throw.
