Tua Tagovailoa finished the first three quarters with a grand total of two throws that traveled more than 15 yards in the air. One found De'Von Achane for a 24-yard gain. The other floated into the waiting arms of Steelers cornerback Asante Samuel.

Fans lamented another bad game from Tagovailoa on social media. While Tagovailoa took slack for his performance, Aaron Rodgers received praise for his. The 42-year-old threw for 224 passing yards and a pair of touchdowns on 23-of-27 passing.
