Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was furious after wide receiver DK Metcalf dropped a touchdown pass on Sunday, and appeared to scream "c--- sucker" in frustration.
Rodgers attempted to find Metcalf in the end zone in the first half of Sunday's primetime game against the Green Bay Packers, but his throw was dropped. The camera then panned to Rodgers, who screamed in frustration, and fans believe he said "f------ c--- sucker."
Sunday night was a massive occasion for Rodgers, as it was his first time facing the Packers since he left the organization after the 2022 season. Rodgers also had the opportunity to complete a special NFL milestone, but he began to feel the pressure of Green Bay's defense in the first half.

Steelers kicker Chris Boswell put Pittsburgh ahead on Sunday Night Football with a 56-yard field goal, but the Packers soon took the lead. Green Bay quarterback Jordan Love completed a 16-yard touchdown pass to tight end Tucker Kraft, but the offense began to struggle.
Rodgers also initially failed to inspire much offensively in the first half, but found Metcalf for a potential touchdown. However, the star receiver dropped the pass, and Rodgers appeared to scream a colorful insult, which was picked up on social media.
Minutes later, the Steelers benefited from a pass interference call on Packers cornerback Keisean Nixon, who was penalized for his coverage on Pittsburgh receiver Calvin Austin. Rodgers then found Metcalf for a short gain before connecting with the star receiver for a touchdown.

Rodgers is one of seven quarterbacks in NFL history with wins against 31 franchises. Patrick Mahomes, Russell Wilson, Matthew Stafford, and Ben Roethlisberger have also accomplished the feat. However, only four quarterbacks have ever managed to beat all 32 teams.
The Steelers quarterback entered Sunday's game knowing that he could become the fifth, joining Brett Favre, Tom Brady, Drew Brees, and Peyton Manning.
