Aaron Rodgers was caught talking to Arthur Smith
Aaron Rodgers will be thinking for the next few days as he considers his next move after Pittsburgh Steelers‘ loss to the Houston Texans, 30-6, in the wild card round on Monday.
Rodgers left Acrisure Stadium for probably the last time. That’s a tough way to go out if the legendary quarterback decides to finally hang up his cleats.
42-year-old Rogers had a hard time shaking off the Texans’ punishing defense. At one point he was observed discussion with the offensive coordinator Arthur Smithas posted by BrickCenter on Ks.
Rodgers appeared to say: “He didn’t fucking do what he should have done.” It was unclear, however, who he was referring to.

The four-time MVP was always a vocal player, especially during a heated game, and he made sure Smith knew exactly what he wanted.
Rodgers was 17 of 33 for 146 yards and zero touchdowns. What might be the final pass of his iconic career was intercepted by Cullen Bullock, who went all the way for a 50-yard pick-six.
While he didn’t hide his frustration in the postgame conference call, Rodgers said he would takes time to process everything, especially his future.
“I’m not going to make any emotional decisions. I’m disappointed. Obviously, it’s been such a fun year. A lot of trouble, but a lot of fun,” the 10-time Pro Bowler said in a report by the Associated Press.
Meanwhile, some believe Smith’s time with the Steelers has run its course. Even former Pittsburgh star James Harrison has urged the front office to find a suitable replacement.
The Steelers have now lost seven straight in the playoffs.
