Patriots take aim at Aaron Rodgers through social media post ahead of Steelers game

The New England Patriots prepare to face Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers in a crucial Week Two matchup at Gillette Stadium. The Patriots suffered a disappointing loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week One, while the Steelers emerged victorious over the Atlanta Falcons. In last week's game against the Seahawks, quarterback Drake Maye threw three interceptions in the fourth quarter, ultimately leading to the Patriots' defeat.

Given that this will likely be the final time the Patriots face Rodgers before his retirement at season's end, the team's social media team has chosen to target the quarterback ahead of their upcoming clash. Colin Cowherd has noted Rodgers' impressive performances in Pittsburgh, even though he remains a four-time MVP. The Patriots, however, have shared a collection of sacks from Rodgers' time with the team, specifically focusing on a 2006 game where the Patriots secured a 35-0 victory as Rodgers was sacked three times following Brett Favre's injury.

While this type of archival footage may be common among teams, the Patriots' decision to highlight these moments in their social media post appears to be a subtle attempt to challenge the reigning MVP. Rodgers holds a 4-3 record against the Patriots, with his most recent victory occurring just last year during the Steelers' Week Three game in New England, where he threw two touchdowns and went sackless.
