- Aaron Rodgers entered the Thursday night game against the Cleveland Browns with 11 career touchdown passes and zero interceptions against them across five games, needing one TD to tie Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes for the NFL record of most TDs against a single opponent without an INT.
- Rodgers tied the record early in the first quarter on a 12-yard pop pass to Roman Wilson, giving Pittsburgh its first points of the game.
- Denzel Ward intercepted Rodgers just 16 minutes later — the first interception Rodgers had ever thrown against the Browns in his 22-year career — knocking him out of the tie and leaving Brady and Mahomes as the sole record holders.
- Brady and Mahomes now share the record at 12 touchdown passes against a single opponent without an interception, though Mahomes will have a chance to break the tie when the Chiefs are scheduled to face the Steelers in 2027.
- The Steelers fell to 0-9 all-time in Thursday night road games against divisional opponents, and could drop to 0-10 depending on the outcome against Cleveland.
Why it matters: Rodgers' interception snapped a personal five-game streak of zero picks against the Browns, an opponent he had played more than any other with a flawless turnover line. The record now belongs exclusively to Brady and Mahomes, with Mahomes positioned to claim sole ownership in a 2027 matchup against Pittsburgh that gives the tiebreaker a built-in sequel.
