Aaron Rodgers makes his feelings known on Steelers' SNF "stinker" ahead of Bengals showdown

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will lead the team versus the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. It's a rematch of the thrilling matchup on Week 7, which Cincinnati won 33-31.

The Steelers are amid a rough stretch, losing three of their last four games. They'll face the Bengals coming off a defeat to the LA Chargers, as the veteran signal-caller struggled.

Rodgers was asked to share his thoughts about his performance in Week 10. However, he made it clear that he has moved past it and is looking forward to bouncing back.

"There’s going to be a stinker every now and then," Rodgers told reporters on Wednesday. "You just got to bounce back, get back to the things you do and get back into your routine, and try to be better the next week.”

He had arguably the worst performance of his Pittsburgh career on Sunday. Rodgers' 51.6% completion rate was the lowest he has recorded in the last five seasons.

"This was not my best performance," Rodgers said. "I got to play better than this for us to win. Whatever it takes. If it's better checks, if it's better throws, whatever it is, I got to play better. We got to play better on offense, for sure. But this is part of the season. There's ebbs and flows, there's ups and downs, and we can't ride the wave."

How has Aaron Rodgers fared at Pittsburgh Steelers in his first year?

Aaron Rodgers signed with the Steelers as a free agent in June, and his time in Pittsburgh has been filled with highs and lows.

After a 4-1 start, the AFC North team has lost three of its last four games. However, Rodgers had a respectable game in Week 10, completing 16 of 31 passes for 161 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions against the Chargers.

The former Green Bay Packers star has recorded 1,853 yards and 18 touchdowns this season, with a completion rate of 66.8%.

Rodgers is outperforming his 2024 season with the New York Jets. While his 2023 Achilles injury may have contributed to his performance last year, he appears to have fully recovered from it. He is also still capable of putting up excellent performances.
