Aaron Rodgers took responsibility for his missed passes in the Pittsburgh Steelers' 25-10 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday Night Football at SoFi Stadium.
At nearly 42 years old, Rodgers completed 16 of 31 passes for 161 yards, with one touchdown, two interceptions, and a 50.6 passer rating — his lowest this season. His 51.6% completion percentage was his worst since 2020, and this passer rating ranks as the fifth-lowest of his career in a full game.
“A lot of stuff wasn’t working. I was just a little bit off, missed DK [Metcalf] early, could’ve been a big play. But yeah, we didn’t run the ball super effectively in the first half. I missed, obviously, some throws, for sure. And then we weren’t getting guys open and couldn’t put it all together. Times guys were open, I missed the throws that I usually make."
“Our defense played really well tonight. Offensively, we were pretty bad. So, we’ve got to find a way to get open on third down, I’ve got to find a way to hit ‘em, because that was just some bad ball.”
Despite the promising start, the Steelers' offense could not sustain success under pressure, contributing to the loss.
Author’s summary: Aaron Rodgers acknowledged his early mistakes and the offense’s struggles, but praised the defense despite the Steelers’ disappointing 25-10 loss to the Chargers.
