Rodgers went 6-for-8 on play-action for 65 yards; two incompletions left points on board.

Rodgers completed 6-of-8 play-action pass attempts for 65 yards in Week 1, despite inconsistencies running the ball. The two incomplete passes were both instances where the Steelers left points on the board: one was a pass to Metcalf in the end zone where the defensive back grabbed his arm, and the second was on a bootleg to the left where Rodgers missed Jaylen Warren wide on a pass the running back would have walked in for six with a better ball. The source suggests McCarthy could have called more play-action, considering how well it worked for the Steelers.
