Aaron Rodgers’s Return Could Earn Steelers Even More Prime-Time Spots in 2026

Aaron Rodgers was back in a familiar place on Monday after officially reuniting with the Steelers.

Rodgers’s return came a mere days after the NFL announced its 272-game schedule in its entirety (Purposefully? Who’s to say?), and gives us both a look at when we'll see the four-time MVP quarterback his Steelers in stand-alone windows this coming season—and also an idea of where else the Steelers could be flexed into prime-time spots down the stretch of the campaign.
