Yet, the Steelers still lost for the second week in a row, this time by 19 points.
The Steelers clearly didn’t bring their A game against the Bills, and fault could be aimed in multiple directions. Yet, after finishing with a new season-low 108 passing yards, Rodgers didn’t hesitate to play the blame game and point the finger at some of his teammates instead.

Typically, these comments are the type that are addressed behind closed doors, but the 41-year-old four-time NFL MVP didn’t hold back.
“When there’s film sessions, everyone shows up. When I check to a route, run the right route.”

Rodgers opted against naming names. But he really doesn’t have to. The players inside the organization know which ones aren’t showing up or paying close attention to film sessions. They know who’s running the wrong routes, especially because the players are likely getting called out when the tape gets evaluated.
Still, if nothing else, fans will be paying even closer attention to Pittsburgh’s passing game, trying to identify players who may not be as dedicated to winning as the other veterans on the team.
