Aaron Rodgers and Steelers Struggle in 20-3 Loss to Patriots as HC McCarthy Backs Him

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers faced relentless pressure in a 20-3 loss to the New England Patriots, getting blitzed 21 times, sacked four times, and committing two fumbles, including a strip-sack returned for a touchdown. Head coach Mike McCarthy defended Rodgers, attributing offensive struggles to offensive line continuity issues rather than the quarterback. The Steelers have engineered just one touchdown drive in two full games under the current scheme.
