When Hamilton left the game following a collision with fellow safety Alohi Gilman early in the third quarter, the Ravens led 10-3 and the Steelers were facing a third-and-10. Rodgers immediately attacked the middle of the field and hit Freiermuth for 14 yards. They scored a touchdown on that drive and got a field goal on the next.

Aaron Rodgers' career has long been inextricably linked to Brett Favre. Now the quarterback has surpassed his Packers predecessor in another facet.

Speaking to ESPN's Melissa Stark after the game, Pittsburgh quarterback Aaron Rodgers (who saved the day with a late-game touchdown pass to give the Steelers the lead) seemed to get a bit choked up while discussing what the berth and his year in the Steel City meant to him.

Even if the Steelers go one-and-done in the playoffs, or win a game before getting ousted, Rodgers can feel good about a possible farewell.
