Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers making inaccurate claims?

But what does it mean when a player takes issue with the team's supposed leader? It's not a good look for head coach Mike Tomlin. He's already under fire for the terrible shortsighted trade of George Pickens . And the team is crumbling after a 4-1 start.
Yes, Tomlin hasn't had a losing season in his NFL career. But that may change this year, despite the addition of Rodgers. It's one thing to hire an aging quarterback to get through a season or two. But when that quarterback is Rodgers, things can go devastatingly bad.
Tomlin said he understands the issues, according to NBC Sports via the Associated Press.
"In general, I agree with them, from this perspective: Football is our game, we're in a sport entertainment business," Tomlin said. "And so if you root for the Steelers, entertaining them is winning. And so when you're not winning, it's not entertaining."
