Henderson runs for TD, Patriots pummel Rodgers in 20-3 win over Steelers
TreVeyon Henderson scored in his season debut, and the Patriots forced multiple turnovers while limiting Pittsburgh to 235 yards.
- On Sunday, the Pittsburgh Steelers fell 20-3 to the New England Patriots, managing just 235 yards of total offense. Wide receiver DK Metcalf struggled throughout, dropping multiple passes including a crucial third-down attempt in the third quarter.
- Through two games, Metcalf has recorded only eight receptions for 67 yards, a stark underperformance for the $132 million receiver. Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez blanketed Metcalf with tight coverage, allowing just three catches on five targets for 13 yards in Week 2.
- Quarterback Aaron Rodgers told reporters, "Can't feel sorry for ourselves. We've all got to play better," citing communication issues with head coach Mike McCarthy. McCarthy acknowledged the offense was "clearly not good enough" despite a productive practice week.
- Former head coach Mike Tomlin, now an analyst for NBC's "Sunday Night Football," stated the team lacked a "place to hang their hat," pointing to failures establishing the run and converting third downs. Tomlin added the offense must improve "really soon."
- The Steelers face the Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns in a five-day span, two AFC North rivals demanding immediate offensive improvement. Something must change soon if Pittsburgh wants to avoid a rare losing season in the 21st century.
