In the defeat against the Buffalo Bills, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers had an evening to forget. The reason is quite obvious to him.

A bloody nose, a pain-contorted face – things did not go well for Aaron Rodgers in the 7-26 defeat to the Buffalo Bills. This was also reflected in the statistics.

10 successful passes out of 21 attempts for 117 yards. That’s less than 50 percent. These are rather uncharacteristic numbers for Rodgers. His career average is over 65 percent.

However, Rodgers had a simple explanation for the passes into thin air. “When it’s time for video analysis, everyone should come. And when I call the route, everyone should run the route,“ the veteran quarterback attacked his wide receivers – without naming them. ”We have our meetings every week. There’s also the option of meeting outside the training ground. I’m looking forward to seeing the guys,” said Rodgers, hinting that he expects additional sessions.

Rodgers disappointed with his own performance

However, the 41-year-old did not hold back with self-criticism. “I’m disappointed with my performance, disappointed with the offensive performance, and I have to put that behind me,” Rodgers said.

Although he was handicapped by a black splint protecting his broken left wrist, he did not use this as an excuse for one of his weakest performances. The ten successful passes were the fewest he has ever completed in a game with 20 pass attempts.

This negative record is no coincidence. Rodgers and his receivers had visible difficulties connecting on deep and medium passes throughout the season. It was no different against the Bills.

Rodgers: “That was a boo-worthy performance.”

Throughout the game, Rodgers and Co. were booed relentlessly. When the former Green Bay quarterback’s name was called for a new play, the fans gave vent to their displeasure.

“I completely understand the frustration. I’ve been booed on offense, even in Green Bay over the years. It was a boo-worthy performance,” he said.

But the 41-year-old was aggressive about the future: “I believe in the coaching staff. I believe in Mike Tomlin. That’s why I came here. The players have to take responsibility, myself included, and I will continue to do so.”
