\n Pittsburgh Steelers: Aaron Rodgers Calls Out Receivers After Hearing Boos at Home<\/p>\n

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers called out his receivers following the team’s most disappointing loss of the season.<\/p>\n

The Steelers were booed by their fans and battered by the Buffalo Bills during a 26-7 defeat that dropped Pittsburgh (6-6) into a tie with the Ravens (6-6) atop the AFC North.<\/p>\n

Baltimore and Pittsburgh will play for first place in the division on Sunday at M&T Bank Stadium. During practice this week, Rodgers wants to see his receivers more attentive so that everyone’s on the same page.<\/p>\n

“When there’s film sessions, everybody shows up, and when I check to a route, you do the right route,” Rodgers said via Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com<\/a>. “… We have our meetings every week. We have other opportunities outside of the facility, and [I] look forward to seeing all the boys there.”<\/p>\n

Rodgers completed just 10 of 21 passes against Buffalo for 117 yards as Pittsburgh was booed while being blanked in the second half. Pittsburgh’s No. 1 wide receiver, DK Metcalf, was held to three catches for 32 yards. Tight end Darnell Washington was Pittsburgh’s most productive target with two catches for 45 yards.<\/p>\n

Rodgers played with a cast to protect his fractured left wrist, but didn’t take himself off the hook for his subpar performance.<\/p>\n

“I felt good enough to be out there, just not ready to take a snap under center, hopefully next week for that,” Rodgers said. “Disappointed in my performance, disappointed in the offensive performance, and got to flush it.”<\/p>\n

Asked about being booed at home, Rodgers said, “I totally understand the frustration. That was a boo-worthy performance.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pittsburgh Steelers: Aaron Rodgers Calls Out Receivers After Hearing Boos at Home Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers called…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":49197,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[28397,28398,1446,28399,28400,73,75,74],"class_list":["post-49196","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-pittsburgh","tag-around-the-afc-north","tag-clifton-brown","tag-general","tag-homepage-latest-headlines","tag-inline-news","tag-pittsburgh","tag-pittsburgh-headlines","tag-pittsburgh-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49196","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=49196"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49196\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/49197"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=49196"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=49196"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=49196"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
