Aaron Rodgers' Struggles Against Chargers Spark Discussion, Tomlin Expresses Confidence

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, 41, delivered a challenging performance in a 25-10 road defeat to the Los Angeles Chargers, logging just 161 yards passing on 31 attempts with two interceptions and a 51.6% completion rate, his lowest since 2020. He was sacked three times and finished with a 50.6 passer rating. Despite the 'ugly' outing, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin stated he has 'no long-term reservations' about Rodgers' ability to play at a high level. Rodgers acknowledged his struggles, admitting he was 'a little bit off' and missed throws. This season, two years post-Achilles tear, Rodgers has shown both brilliance, like a four-touchdown opener against the Jets, and inconsistency, ranking 23rd in yards per pass attempt. With AFC North rivals surging, the Steelers need Rodgers to rebound, starting with their Week 11 rematch against the Cincinnati Bengals.
