Aaron Rodgers acknowledges Steelers' offense isn't playing 'winning football' after listless effort in loss to Patriots
Key Points:
- The New England Patriots defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 20-3, largely due to a dominant defensive performance that forced two Aaron Rodgers fumbles, including one returned for a touchdown.
- Rodgers struggled under pressure, completing 23 of 39 passes for 187 yards with no touchdowns, one interception, four sacks, and seven hits, while the Steelers offense managed just 235 yards and 3.5 yards per play.
- Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson scored the game's only touchdown on a 39-yard run, helping New England secure the win despite quarterback Drake Maye throwing an interception.
- The Steelers' offense failed to capitalize on scoring opportunities, with key mistakes including a fumble on a potential scoring drive and an interception in the red zone that sealed the game for New England.
- New England improved to 1-1 and will look to build on this defensive effort in Week 3 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, while Rodgers acknowledged the offense must improve to complement their strong defense.
