Aaron Rodgers Drops Bombshell on Mysterious Receivers: Who’s Sabotaging the Team Behind the Scenes?

The Steelers are stumbling through a rough patch, and Aaron Rodgers — well, he’s not holding back the way he usually does . After a dispiriting 26-7 defeat at home against the Bills, Rodgers dropped some pointed remarks about his teammates — echoes of the kind of candid criticism we saw from Tua Tagovailoa recently. When asked what’s needed to spark the passing game, Rodgers bluntly noted that while “everyone shows up” for film sessions, the commitment ends there if players don’t run the routes right. It’s hard not to sense the frustration bubbling just beneath the surface — the guy expected this season to be a fresh start after his Jets days, but right now, the Steelers sit at 6-6, dangerously close to slipping out of playoff contention entirely. The clock’s ticking, and if they can’t course-correct soon, they might be bidding farewell to postseason hopes earlier than anyone wanted. LEARN MORE

The Steelers are slumping. And quarterback Aaron Rodgers is not mincing words.

In comments eerily reminiscent of remark from Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, Rodgers called out unnamed teammates after Sunday’s lackluster 26-7 home loss to the Bills.

Asked by reporters how to increase production in the passing game, Rodgers said this: “When there’s film sessions, everyone shows up. When I check to a route, run the right route.”

By implication, Rodgers is saying that players aren’t showing up for film sessions, and that they’re not running the right route.

It’s not the first time Rodgers has said something about players not running the right route. Last year, he called out Jets receiver Mike Williams for failing to be on the “red line,” as the play required.

Obviously, he’s frustrated. He thought this year would be different than his most recent two seasons, with the Jets. As it stands, the 6-6 Steelers will need to get things turned around quickly, or they won’t have to worry about losing another playoff game.

They won’t be going back.
