Rodgers’ Outbursts Put Mike Tomlin’s Control Under Scrutiny in Pittsburgh

Rodgers is on a 40-touchdown pace through six games.

Overview

  • The Steelers fell 33-31 to the Bengals on Thursday night to move to 4-2, as Rodgers threw four touchdowns with two interceptions during a disjointed performance.
  • Rodgers and Mike Tomlin gave conflicting explanations of a toss-back to Jaylen Warren, with Rodgers saying it was not a designed flea-flicker and Tomlin insisting it was.
  • Rodgers shoved left tackle Broderick Jones after the lineman accidentally dragged him down during a touchdown celebration, highlighting the quarterback’s visible frustration.
  • Following player complaints about Acrisure Stadium’s surface in Week 6, a report to the NFLPA prompted the team to re-sod the field this week.
  • Through six games Rodgers has completed 68.6% of his passes for 1,270 yards and 14 touchdowns, putting him on pace to surpass Ben Roethlisberger’s 34-touchdown franchise record, with a Week 8 home game against the Packers up next.
