Aaron Rodgers Talks 'Boo-Worthy Performance' After Steelers' Blowout Loss to Bills

The Pittsburgh Steelers came up well short against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, and quarterback Aaron Rodgers admitted that they deserved to be booed after the loss.

He called Pittsburgh's performance "boo-worthy" and said the team had a bad week in practice.

"I thought we had a good preparation week but a poor practice week, for whatever reason," he told reporters.

The Steelers' offense did little against Buffalo's defense in the loss. Rodgers threw for just 117 yards on 10-of-21 passing, and Mason Rudolph, Rodgers' backup, threw an interception when he briefly came into the game. On the ground, Pittsburgh managed just 58 rushing yards, with Jaylen Warren's rushing touchdown being the only score of the game.

It wasn't exactly a banner day on defense, either. While the Steelers limited Josh Allen to just 123 yards, a touchdown and an interception, they allowed James Cook III to rush for 144 yards on 32 carries.

The Steelers' playoff chances took a major hit with the loss as they dropped to 6-6 on the year, but their dreams of a third consecutive postseason appearance aren't over yet.

Pittsburgh is still well within the mix to claim the division title, as it's currently tied with the first-placed Baltimore Ravens. The Steelers and Ravens will square off next week in what could be a decisive game.

Pittsburgh will get some manageable games against the Miami Dolphins and Cleveland Browns to close out the year, but it also has a pair of games against the Ravens and a matchup with the Detroit Lions.

The Steelers will need to play much better than they did on Sunday to punch their ticket to the playoffs.
