Ben Roethlisberger makes bold prediction about Steelers season
Ben Roethlisberger says the Steelers are better with Aaron Rodgers at quarterback. The Steelers are 7-10 without Rodgers and 11-6 with him in the lineup, he says. That’s exactly the record we have for the Steelers after the 2025 NFL draft.
On his latest podcast, Steelers legend Ben Roethlisberger talked about the Steelers’ regular-season schedule and offered up his prediction for the Steelers’ record with and without Rodgers in the lineup.
“I have us 7-10 without Aaron [Rodgers] and I have us 11-6 with Aaron,” Roethlisberger said.
In our official game-by-game predictions after the 2025 NFL draft, 7-10 is exactly the record we have the Steelers as well. And we’ve been operating on the assumption that Rodgers is just stringing the Steelers along and have no interest in playing football this year for Pittsburgh or any other team.
NFL News: Aaron Rodgers gets bold 2025 prediction from Steelers legend Ben Roethlisberger
Steelers legend Ben Roethlisberger said bringing in Aaron Rodgers could mean up to four additional wins for the team. Rodgers, 41 years old and a four-time NFL MVP, met with the Steelers in March but left the facility without signing a contract. The Steelers have finished the regular season with a winning record for the last 18 years, so Tomlin would be taking a risk if that streak ends. The black & gold franchise hasn’t won a playoff game since 2017.
Predictions can become outdated quickly once the new season begins. The league has consistently shown that expectations don’t always match outcomes. However, a Super Bowl champion like Big Ben certainly has the experience to make a bold forecast.
Tomlin’s team is currently surrounded by speculation during this offseason, most of it centered around the quarterback situation. The big question is how A-Rod would fare in Pittsburgh. On his latest podcast, Roethlisberger addressed the Steelers’ regular season schedule.
