AARON Rodgers dramatically stormed out of his press conference after the Pittsburgh Steelers’ playoff loss.

The 42-year-old Steelers quarterback has walked off as he made a statement about his retirement, just hours before Mike Tomlin stepped down as head coach.

Rodgers stormed off after suffering an embarrassing 30-6 defeat against the Houston Texans in the Wild Card playoff.

He is yet to make a decision on whether he will return for a 22nd season in the NFL.

Veteran Rodgers has already suggested that he could retire at the end of the Steelers’ 2025 campaign.

Now it appears increasingly likely that he will step away from the gridiron following this latest loss.

The quarterback was brutally benched after throwing a costly interception during the game’s final minutes.

Rodgers has paid tribute to his time at the Green Bay Packers and the Steelers in what could be his final post-game press conference.

“I was fortunate to play in an incredible football city for 18 years,” Rodgers said.

“I never took it for granted. I enjoyed that time there & this has been a really beautiful backend to that first 18.

“There’s only a few really special places in the league that have the tradition and the town and the organization, and I’m thankful to have played for two of them.”

Quarterback Rodgers was told to retire by angry fans as he walked off against the Texans.

He set out an extensive defence for now-former head coach Mike Tomlin, 53, despite the Steelers now suffering seven straight playoff losses.

The Steelers were booed off by fans at Acrisure Stadium.

But Rodgers was furious after he was asked another question about the head coach.

“I’ve talked extensively about how I feel about Mike,” Rodgers added. “And I just did in that f***ing answer.”

Rodgers then dramatically stood up and walked out of the press conference.

Several fans have sided with the veteran quarterback’s blunt approach to the repeated questions.

“I don’t blame him,” one fan posted on X.

“Aaron Rodgers is a no BS kinda guy,” another commented.

The Texans will now face the New England Patriots in the Divisional playoff on Sunday, January 18.
