Aaron Rodgers Called His Own Plays in Paris, and He’s STILL Ripping the Steelers Offense

Despite pulling out a 16-10 win over the New Orleans Saints in the NFL Paris Game on Sunday, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is absolutely not happy with his team’s offensive performance. And get this: he was reportedly calling a ton of the plays himself.

The Quarterback Taking Over

NFL Network’s Molly McGrath dropped the bombshell during the broadcast that Rodgers was out there calling a lot of Pittsburgh’s plays. She even reported that he had a direct conversation about it with head coach Mike McCarthy and the wide receivers. Think about that for a second. The veteran QB was effectively running the show, trying to spark something, and still, he wasn’t feeling it.

Win or Lose, Rodgers Is Not Holding Back

Even after the victory, Rodgers didn’t mince words to McGrath. “I don’t think we played very good on offense today,” he said, flat out. He followed that up with, “We’ve got a lot to work on.” The Steelers are sitting pretty at 5-2, which is a solid record early in the season, but Rodgers is clear that it is not good enough. He stressed, “We’re a 5-2 team, but we’re not playing as well as we can at this point.”

And it doesn’t stop there. He also threw some serious shade at the coaching staff, telling reporters, “We need to adjust a little bit better. Teams just don’t really play us the way they play other teams.” That’s a direct call-out right there, saying opponents are treating them differently, maybe even like they’re predictable.

It’s wild to win a game, especially overseas, and have your star quarterback publicly say the offense was bad and needs to “adjust a little bit better,” hinting at the coaching. The Steelers might be 5-2, but it sounds like there is some serious internal pressure brewing if Rodgers is stepping in on play-calling and still being this vocal. They clearly have some things to figure out on offense despite the winning record.
