The Aaron Rodgers experiment is starting to fall apart

The Pittsburgh Steelers brought in Aaron Rodgers to help make the team a playoff contender. But with five losses in their last seven games, they may not even make the postseason.

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin, in the middle of his 19th season leading the team, has famously never finished with a record under .500.

But on Sunday, during the Steelers’ 26-7 loss to the Buffalo Bills, Pittsburgh fans were heard chanting for Tomlin to be fired, anyway. The team fell to 6-6 with the listless defeat, threatening both its playoff hopes and Tomlin’s non-losing season streak.

“I share their frustration tonight,” Tomlin said when he was asked about the chants. “We didn’t do enough. That’s just the reality of it.”

The main culprit for Pittsburgh’s loss was its moribund offense, which managed to gain only 166 total yards. It was responsible for only seven points, the same as the Bills’ defense, which scored on a fumble return for a touchdown of its own.

The head of the Steelers' attack — or lack of one — is 41-year-old Aaron Rodgers, who looked every bit his age Sunday. Rodgers completed only 10 of 21 passes for a 47.6% completion percentage with no touchdowns. He also coughed up the fumble that led to the Bills’ defensive score.
