Overview
- After a 26-7 loss to the Bills, Rodgers said pass-catchers needed to attend film sessions and run the checked routes, citing a misread with Jonnu Smith.
- Pat Freiermuth countered that attendance at reviews is solid and characterized the issue as better synchronization on signals rather than no-shows.
- On Wednesday, Rodgers reframed his remarks as urging self-critique in Thursday meetings and declined to discuss any “off-the-field” matters.
- Pryor asked the only question about the comments, but the Steelers posted a shortened presser that left it out, leading Pryor to correct PFT’s Mike Florio, who later updated his report.
- Ben Roethlisberger alleged OC Arthur Smith shows favoritism and claimed Rodgers called plays during the Bills game, as the 6-6 Steelers head to Baltimore with first place in the AFC North temporarily on the line.
