New Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy has changed team protocol by allowing cameras in the locker room after games. Following the team's win over the Atlanta Falcons on September 16, 2026, McCarthy awarded the game ball to the defense but was later honored by quarterback Aaron Rodgers with a game ball for his first victory as head coach. This marks a significant departure from former coach Mike Tomlin's approach and highlights McCarthy's efforts to create a more open environment. Fans were treated to the emotional moment captured on video, suggesting this could be a new tradition.
