CINCINNATI --Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has a high standard he asks from all players and he was not pleased on a play from running back Jaylen Warren on the team’s second drive.
The play was a flea flicker, and Warren pitched it back to Rodgers, who ended up eating it and throwing the ball into the ground in front of Warren. After the ball, Rodges can be seen going to Warren and asking him ‘what are you doing’ with wide eyes.
It is unknown just what Warren messed up on, whether his route was wrong or if the play was not supposed to be a flea flicker at all.
With that play called on a 2nd-and-4, the Steelers would end up not converting on third down and punting. After staying ahead of the sticks with a six yard pass to DK Metcalf early, that was a significant turning point in a game that was going well early for the Steelers, but ended up flipping in favor of the Bengals, who were down 10-0 and now lead 14-0 before half time.
Warren and the running game have done well for themselves, but costly penalties and turnovers have put the Steelers behind the eight ball early in the game.
