Rodgers Calls Acrisure Turf 'Borderline Unplayable' After Steelers' 23-9 Win Over Browns

Stadium staff plan evaluations to improve the grass before back‑to‑back Pitt then Steelers home dates.

Overview

  • The Steelers defeated the Browns 23-9 at Acrisure Stadium with no serious injuries reported.
  • Chris Boswell slipped on his plant leg during a late field-goal try, dug up a large divot, and avoided injury.
  • Aaron Rodgers said the surface was “really beat up” by the third quarter and used the phrase “borderline unplayable.”
  • Rodgers recommended seven-stud cleats for better grip and likened the wear to older Green Bay conditions before field improvements.
  • The grounds crew will review the surface ahead of Pitt hosting NC State and the Steelers’ next home game versus the Packers, as Pittsburgh prepares for a Thursday road game against the Bengals.
