Mike McCarthy and Aaron Rodgers aim for top-10 offense with Steelers

Summary

Aaron Rodgers and Mike McCarthy's reunion with the Pittsburgh Steelers could revive their offense in 2026. The team has not reached a top-10 offensive ranking since 2018, but analysts believe the duo's successful history in Green Bay may translate well. Surrounding Rodgers is a talented group, including Michael Pittman Jr., DK Metcalf, and a strong backfield. A favorable schedule further supports the optimistic outlook as they prepare for the upcoming season.
