Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy and quarterback Aaron Rodgers were photographed at training camp on August 1, 2026, as the team enters its bye week looking to solve persistent red zone inefficiencies. The Steelers' offense has struggled to convert scoring opportunities inside the 20-yard line, prompting McCarthy to dedicate the break to schematic adjustments and execution drills.
Rodgers, in his first season with Pittsburgh, has shown flashes of his MVP form but the connection with receivers in tight spaces remains a work in progress. The bye week arrives at a critical juncture, allowing the coaching staff to install new route concepts and refine timing before the second half of the season.
