The morning after: Aaron Rodgers needs more from his receivers

Aaron Rodgers kicked off his 22nd and concluding professional campaign by guiding the Pittsburgh Steelers to a 20-13 victory against the Atlanta Falcons at Acrisure Stadium. While the veteran signal-caller expressed upbeat thoughts following the Week 1 triumph in head coach Mike McCarthy's debut with the franchise, he also evaluated his downfield timing with wideout DK Metcalf following several missed connections.

On the other side of the ball, outside linebacker T.J. Watt dominated the opener to start his 10th season, answering critics of his prior year by securing a critical late interception return for a touchdown to seal the result against an injury-depleted Atlanta squad.
