OUTCOME
CONFIRMED FALSEThe Steelers did not start Mason Rudolph at quarterback in 2025 — Aaron Rodgers was the starter all season. Pittsburgh finished 10-7, won the AFC North, and made the playoffs. Rudolph only made one start (filling in for an injured Rodgers against the Bears in Week 12) and finished the season with just 310 passing yards and one start total, while the Steelers were 3-1 through the first four weeks alone.
