Aaron Rodgers gets brutally honest about Steelers' offense after defense carries team in 27-20 win vs. Colts

Aaron Rodgers' Pittsburgh Steelers pulled off a stunning 27-20 upset win over the Indianapolis Colts at Acrisure Stadium on Sunday. Daniel Jones and Co. recorded 30+ points in each of the last four games, but the Steelers held them to just 20.

Rodgers discussed the team's defense following the team's fifth win of the season.

"I love the play call and I thought the execution was pretty bad," Rodgers said during the postgame presser. "We gotta look in the mirror and play better on offense because that's not good enough against any team. Run game, catching football.

"Defense playing incredible. We gotta put a game like that, we've got to put 35, 42 on the board and close the game out. Good take for (the) coaching staff when you win."

Pittsburgh's defense dominated the NFL's top-ranked offense, which committed six turnovers. It was the most the unit has forced since Week 1 of the 2018 season against Cleveland. Jones, who played at an MVP level through the first eight weeks, looked lost under relentless pressure.

He completed 31 of 50 passes for 342 yards and a touchdown, but also threw three interceptions and lost two fumbles. Jones accounted for five of the six turnovers.

Jonathan Taylor entered the game as the league's leading rusher and MVP candidate with 1,056 yards and 14 touchdowns through Week 8. However, he was nowhere to be seen on Sunday. Taylor managed just 45 yards on 14 carries, a season-low performance. He failed to score for the first time this campaign.

Aaron Rodgers leads the Steelers to their fifth win despite sluggish offense

The Steelers offense wasn't at its best against the Colts, managing just 225 total yards compared to Indianapolis' 368, despite the team's turnover-plagued performance. Aaron Rodgers completed 25 of 35 passes for 203 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions. The run game struggled, producing just 38 rushing yards on 23 attempts for an average of 1.7 yards per carry.

Rodgers and Co. were just 4 of 12 on third down, and they didn't secure a first down until the second quarter. It included a red zone failure when they reached the Colts' 4-yard line in the first quarter but turned the ball over on downs. The offense would've looked worse if not for the defense.
