He was asked after the game what the victory meant in terms of the noise surrounding the Steelers’ playoff chances and Mike Tomlin’s future clouding the week heading into the big game.
“Maybe you can shut up for a week,” he said.
Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf echoed Rodgers’ strong sentiments.
“We knew better than to pay attention to the noise outside,” Metcalf said via ESPN. “Coach T is a great leader for us and has done nothing but take bullets for us. Even when we were up and down he came in every day, was consistent and stayed the same, always motivated us to play our best ball and that’s what he did last week.

“We knew what was at stake – first place in this heated competition, and yes, the better team came out on top.”
Metcalf led the team with seven catches for 148 yards. Jaylen Warren had three catches for 49 yards and a touchdown.
Tomlin, whose future with the Steelers was a hot topic of discussion throughout the week, was ecstatic about the win.
“A great team won,” Tomlin said. “I appreciate the effort of the guys in the locker room. This is classic Steelers vs. Ravens.”
