Aaron Rodgers blames himself after Steelers’ offense struggles again in loss to Patriots – WTOP News
- On Sunday, September 20, 2026, the Pittsburgh Steelers fell to 1-1 after dropping a 20-3 decision to the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Mass. The team's offense produced just 278 yards of total output.
- Quarterback Aaron Rodgers struggled under pressure as the offensive line allowed four sacks and seven quarterback hits against New England. Rodgers finished 23 of 39 for 187 yards, with a fumble the Patriots returned for a touchdown.
- Despite Rodgers' vow to "keep feeding him," wide receiver DK Metcalf recorded only four catches for 27 yards and two drops. The $30 million receiver failed to provide a reliable target when Pittsburgh needed offensive production.
- Left tackle Troy Fautanu demanded offensive changes after the loss, saying "something has to change." Coach Mike McCarthy blamed himself for the poor output, while former players James Harrison and Le'Veon Bell called the team "cooked" on social media.
- Averaging just eight points per game through two weeks, Pittsburgh's offense faces serious season concerns. The team must quickly resolve offensive line and receiving issues or risk a prolonged struggle despite defensive efforts.
