Pittsburgh Steelers fans inside Acrisure Stadium didn’t have a lot to cheer for during Sunday’s 26-7 Week 13 defeat to the Buffalo Bills. So, instead, they booed.
Boos rained down on the Steelers as they struggled to put together an inspiring performance both on offense and defense. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers said the boos were warranted.
“I totally understand the frustration,” Rodgers after the game, via Brooke Pryor of ESPN. “I’ve been booed on offense, even in Green Bay over the years. That was a boo-worthy performance.”
The Steelers generated just 166 total yards and 10 first downs. They compiled 90 yards and seven first downs in the first three quarters of play. Buffalo came into Sunday having allowed 28.3 points per game over its past three games. Pittsburgh found the end zone just once and its second half drive chart was as follows: one play, sack-fumble for a touchdown; four plays, interception; three-and-out; turnover on downs; end of game.
It wasn’t good. It largely hasn’t been good enough this season for the Steelers’ offense, which ranks 27th in total offense. Rodgers did not like the team’s preparation leading up to the game.
