Aaron Rodgers Had Profane Exchange with Mike McCarthy During 'TNF'

The exchange went viral after the Amazon broadcast caught Rodgers and McCarthy trading expletives over a delayed play call.

  • On Thursday, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers and head coach Mike McCarthy exchanged profanities during the early scoreless contest against the Cleveland Browns at Huntington Bank Field.
  • McCarthy served as Rodgers' head coach for 13 seasons with the Green Bay Packers, and the pair won Super Bowl XLV together in 2011, defeating the Steelers.
  • Rodgers audibly yelled at McCarthy for delaying a play call with 20 seconds remaining on the clock. The Amazon broadcast captured McCarthy appearing to mouth "F–king a–hole" in response.
  • The two appeared fine moments later when Rodgers connected with Roman Wilson for a 12-yard touchdown, and they celebrated together on the sideline.
  • Beyond the game, announcer Al Michaels revealed that Rodgers and his wife are expecting to expand their family, with the quarterback planning to focus on fatherhood next year.
