Steelers HC Mike McCarthy Explains He, Aaron Rodgers Cursing At Each Other

During a Thursday night defeat against the Cleveland Browns, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers and head coach Mike McCarthy exchanged heated words on the sideline during the first quarter. McCarthy later addressed the televised interaction in a postgame press conference, acknowledging that competitive emotions got the better of him while explaining that he regrets the crude language used.

The tight contest ultimately ended in a 27-24 victory for Cleveland after kicker Andre Szmyt converted a 56-yard field goal in the waning seconds. Rodgers finished the matchup by completing 22 of 40 pass attempts for 299 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions, dropping Pittsburgh's record to 2-2 ahead of their Week 5 home game against the Indianapolis Colts.
