Those two lovebirds, Aaron Rodgers and Mike McCarthy, were at it again Thursday night.
The Steelers were driving against the Cleveland Browns in a scoreless game in the first quarter, and Pittsburgh had just gotten a first down by penalty, very much in business at the Cleveland 20-yard line.
But Rodgers apparently didn’t get the play call fast enough for his liking. This led to Rodgers and McCarthy exchanging pleasantries — within range of Amazon Prime’s boom mics:
The Rodgers-McCarthy relationship — their first time working together since their Green Bay Packers days eight years ago — has had some testy moments recently. After the Week 2 loss to New England, Rodgers said he needed to do a better job “making sure Mike knows what’s working, what’s not working” as far as play-calling goes.
McCarthy had been fairly restrained comparatively. Until Thursday, that is.
