Jordan Rodgers urged patience with brother Aaron as Pittsburgh opened the 2026 season 1-1, beating Atlanta 20-13 before a 20-3 loss to New England. He pointed to drops and missed calls, and said a weak run game and thin receiving options leave Aaron short of support.
Aaron Rodgers has completed 47 of 79 passes for 408 yards and one touchdown. Jordan said some of Aaron’s Week 1 incomplete downfield throws were accurate, and argued that Aaron and Steelers coach Mike McCarthy are still adjusting to working together again.
Jordan also said Pittsburgh lacks a consistent receiving complement to DK Metcalf, allowing defenses to focus on the Steelers’ top target. He said Metcalf is not playing as well as he should.
