Rodgers and McCarthy Reunite with Steelers | NFL News

0:00On September 8th, so, Aaron Rogers and Mike McCarthy are linking up again this time with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Rogers is heading into his final NFL season, and McCarthy is back on the sidelines after a year off. They've got history, including a Super Bowl win together, and get this, the Steelers were the team they beat in that championship game. McCarthy told reporters that their relationship is all about constant collaboration. He mentioned they've really built this offense around Rogers' experience, even changing up some of the terminology. The goal is definitely not to hold Rogers back, especially since he's still playing at a high level at 42 years old. This move makes a lot of sense. Rogers is still one of the greatest to ever play the game. McCarthy knows he can't come in and confuse a veteran like Rogers. He wants to maximize what Rogers does best, and that means tailoring the offense to him. Now, the big question for the Steelers in 2026 is what version of Rogers we're going to see? Will he elevate the whole team, or will he look like he's ready to hang it up?

1:02ESPN's preview gives them a best-case scenario of 11 wins and 6 losses, and a worst-case of 6 wins and 11 losses. The Steelers do get a bit of a break to start the season against the Falcons, who just named Tuatago Veloa their starting quarterback. That could be a good matchup for the Steelers' defense. We'll also see if that Rogers and McCarthy connection is still as strong as it used to be. This has been NFL News Today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the Story.
