Steelers news: Big change allows fans to see special Aaron Rodgers-Mike McCarthy moment

The Pittsburgh Steelers experienced a major shift in leadership following their Week 1 victory over the Atlanta Falcons, as Mike Tomlin stepped down as head coach and Mike McCarthy took over. One of the first noticeable changes under McCarthy was the allowance of postgame locker room access, giving fans a glimpse into the team's celebrations and the dedication of the game ball to fans like Mike McCarthy, who was honored as a "Pittsburgher" by Aaron Rodgers.

Porter missed the opening game due to a back injury and is reportedly holding out for a new contract, which the Steelers are hesitant to extend him for. With Porter believing he'll play once healthy, the Steelers may opt to trade him for another cornerback.
