I talked to several players, coaches, and front office members. We as media do get to eat lunch in the cafeteria where the players are, and it’s just not a conversation,” said Yahoo Sports reporter Lori Epstein.“The only time it came up was once in a press conference. Mike McCarthy got asked a question about Aaron Rodgers’ comments on Anthony Fauci because Rodgers had been on Pat McAfee’s show the day before. So yes, a reporter might ask the head coach, but his teammates are not focused on that.”The Steelers players will be focused on improving on their 2025 season after being eliminated from the playoffs in convincing fashion by the Houston Texans.Just how far Mike McCarthy can take the Steelers this year remains to be seen, but it is clear that his quarterback’s off-field comments will not be hindering the performances on the field.Rodgers has never been a player to keep quiet on the topics he feels strongly about and that is not going to change in his 22, and final, season.Read more:Mike Tomlin says there is only one person who deserves his ‘golden ticket’ to Pro Football Hall of Fame‘Awesome’ – Dak Prescott blown away by heartfelt gift from Dallas Cowboys fan at training campMike Tomlin shares Mike Vrabel warning over Dianna Russini ‘noise’ during his NBC debut
