ESPN reporter Brook Pryor, who covers the Steelers, asked Rodgers about his comments Wednesday.
When the Steelers only posted a portion of the press conference — without Rodgers’ response to Pryor’s question — Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk publicly called out the media.
“On Sunday, Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers capped his post-game press conference by implying some players aren’t showing up for film sessions. On Wednesday, reporters asked no questions about his comments,” Florio posted on X.
Pryor responded to Florio, calling his reporting “lazy and wrong,” and provided a video of her question exchange with Rodgers at the press conference.
“That’s incorrect. I asked and he answered. Here’s the exchange,” Pryor wrote.
“As reporters, we’re supposed to trust but verify — and check with multiple sources before going with something. PFT checked one source and didn’t bother to verify with any number of outlets covering the team. That’s lazy and wrong.”
Pryor also posted a transcript of it, adding, “And if you prefer a text version of the question I asked to Rodgers about his Sunday comments to his pass catchers and his response, here ya go.”
Florio said he believes the Steelers shared a shortened version of the press conference “with the goal of concealing the question regarding his remarks from Sunday about increasing production in the passing game.”
He also said Pryor’s “one question” and Rodgers’ answer didn’t “sufficiently address the bushel of low-hanging fruit Rodgers dropped” after Sunday’s game.
“When there’s film sessions, everyone shows up. When I check to a route, run the right route,” Rodgers said after the loss.

Pryor asked Rodgers on Wednesday: “One of the things you said on Sunday that can help you and the pass catchers be on the same page is everybody coming to those film review sessions. To be clear, has there been less than 100 percent attendance? Is that something you feel like needs to improve?”
He explained: “What I was talking about what during the week, we have our meetings on Thursdays, and I meant that everybody come there with an open mind and be self-critical, and, you know, work on the things you got to work on, and let’s get better. As far as any off-the-field stuff, I’m not gonna talk about any of that.”
Florio additionally questioned the meaning behind Rodgers’ “off-the-field stuff” remark since the 42-year-old quarterback did not elaborate.
The Steelers and the Ravens, tied at 6-6, battle for first place in the AFC North when they meet in Baltimore on Sunday.
