“I was wrong to call you prickly, weird uncle”: Colin Cowherd issues heartfelt apology to Aaron Rodgers after dismissing Steelers QB 

Aaron Rodgers has had a fine start to his Pittsburgh Steelers career. The veteran quarterback signed for the Steelers in the offseason and has led them to three wins in four games.

Amid Rodgers' solid run with Pittsburgh, analyst Colin Cowherd has issued an apology to the veteran QB for writing off the Steelers in the offseason.

"Listen, dear Aaron Rodgers, I was wrong to call you a snarky, prickly, weird uncle," Cowherd said on his "The Herd" podcast on Thursday (0:50). My bad, bro. You are a baller, not a bailor after all. You've been magnetic, energizing, and resilient in Pittsburgh, the rare eccentric quarterback who was pointing Steel City out of the darkness and into the lights. Yours, CC."

Many felt that Rodgers would struggle with his offensive options at Pittsburgh. However, the QB has been showcasing his brilliance with the players at his disposal.

Rodgers has completed 74 of 108 passes for 786 yards with eight touchdowns and three interceptions. However, there is still a feeling that the veteran signal-caller still has more to offer in the coming weeks.

The Steelers' only loss this season came against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 2.

In the offseason, Rodgers said that the 2025 season could be his final year in the league. The four-time MVP has hinted that he wants to end his legacy on a high.

The Steelers have a BYE in Week 5. However, they will return to action in Week 6 to host the Cleveland Browns at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh, on Oct. 12.

The Browns have just one win in four games this season. They will face the Minnesota Vikings in Week 5 in London on Sunday.

The Steelers will use their BYE Week to rest and recover before returning for an important phase in the season.
