WHY DID AARON RODGERS TARGET MVS THREE TIMES WHILE THE SEASON WAS ON THE LINE
Aaron Rodgers criticises officials after a 13-6 loss to the Browns. Steelers face a must-win Week 18 against the Ravens.
Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers wasn't happy with the refs after losing to the Cleveland Browns.
With the game and maybe the whole 2025 season hanging in the balance, Rodgers kept throwing to WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling (MVS) at the end. Down by seven with less than 30 seconds left in Week 17, he targeted MVS three times from inside the 10-yard line.
All three passes failed.
The first two weren't close; MVS might have run the wrong routes. Twice.
After the game, Rodgers didn't call out MVS for the possible screw-ups. He did, though, talk about the ref's call (or lack of one) on the fourth-down throw to MVS.
That was interference, for sure, Rodgers said. I'll have to watch the film from the second and third down, though.
On the fourth-down play, Rodgers aimed for MVS in the end zone corner. Photos show Browns CB Denzel Ward holding MVS's left arm.
The Steelers messed up, but MVS couldn't move his left arm on that last throw. Should've been a flag.
Watching it live, Ward's armbar didn't look that bad. The refs didn't call anything, and the Browns took over.
The Browns won, 13-6. The Steelers are now 9-7.
They have to beat the Baltimore Ravens in Week 18 to win the AFC North. A tie works, too.
If the Ravens win, the Steelers are out of the playoffs.
Steelers and Rodgers Can't Get Game-Tying TD Against Browns
The Steelers offence had a bad day. Before Week 17, Rodgers and the crew had scored at least 27 points in three games straight.
Against the NFL's top pass defence in Cleveland, the Steelers didn't score a TD. The Browns limited Rodgers to 168 passing yards (4.3 yards per pass).
The Steelers only made three of 15 third-down attempts and got zero points on two trips to the red zone.
Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said the Browns' defence was good, and Rodgers agreed. But in the second half, when Pittsburgh didn't score, they were missing DK Metcalf (suspended), Calvin Austin III (hamstring), and Darnell Washington (broken arm). Washington played only one snap.
That's why Valdes-Scantling got nine targets, catching just three for 21 yards.
WR Scotty Miller and TE Pat Freiermuth had 55 receiving yards together to start the Steelers' last drive. On first-and-goal from the Browns' 10, Rodgers hit Adam Thielen for 3 yards.
On social media, fans and experts questioned Rodgers' throwing to Valdes-Scantling three times, since Freiermuth and Miller made the big plays to get there in the first place.
How Metcalf's Suspension Impacted the Steelers
The Steelers usually run a lot and involve tight ends more than other teams. Some thought Metcalf's absence wouldn't matter much against Cleveland.
But it did. The Browns played man-to-man, giving Rodgers chances to throw deep into single coverage. But MVS and the other backup receivers didn't make those catches.
Some thought Roman Wilson, who hasn't played for weeks, might have a good game. But he didn't get any targets.
The Steelers get another shot at winning the division in Week 18, but will still be without Metcalf.
Metcalf had his best game against Baltimore in Week 14.
Austin's and Washington's status is unclear. Hamstring injuries tend to stick around. If Washington can play, he'll likely have a cast, limiting his receiving.
That's why the missed interference call on the fourth-down play with Valdes-Scantling was so important.
The Steelers have gotten lucky with calls in the past, like against the Ravens and Lions. Given the Steelers-Ravens history, Rodgers might need some more luck to win next week.
Better receiver play would help, too.
KENDRICK BOURNE REVEALS THE STRICT DISCIPLINE THAT SPARKED THE PATRIOTS' TURNAROUND
Kendrick Bourne speaks out! Discover why he thinks Mike Vrabel is the right fit and why he’s eyeing a 2026 return to the 49ers.
Kendrick Bourne’s path through the NFL has zigzagged all over – some highs, plenty of lows, and now, another fresh start. He took a shot with the Patriots in 2025 after building his reputation with the 49ers. But honestly, that New England chapter ended before it even got going. Bourne didn’t just slip out the back door. He left with a lot to say about what he saw brewing in New England as Mike Vrabel took charge.
Once Vrabel arrived, you didn’t need to listen for rumours about a culture shift; it was obvious. Bourne noticed right away. He’s already got his eyes set on home, back with the 49ers, but even from a distance, he could see the Patriots were heading somewhere new long before their record showed it.
Talking about his exit from New England, Bourne didn’t sugarcoat anything. Losing the job itself wasn’t the hardest part. What stung was watching Vrabel put his stamp on the team, laying down the kind of structure and discipline Bourne knew would eventually pay off. He was blunt; things just felt different under Vrabel compared to before.
He put it like this: “After going through OTAs and camp with Vrabes, you just knew. Nothing against Mayo, but he just wasn’t ready. With Vrabes, the structure was totally different in how we studied, how we met, and just the whole vibe. Honestly, I was sad about it.”
This wasn’t just a guy being bitter. Bourne respected what was happening in New England and genuinely wished he could have been part of it, especially with a Super Bowl push on the horizon. He even admitted he’d wanted to be in that locker room when the Patriots finally made it back to the big stage.
Now he’s back with the 49ers, hoping to stick around. At 30, Bourne wants a new contract in San Francisco. He had a solid 2025, racked up 551 yards, picked up a contract bonus, and gave the offence a spark. The 49ers needed reliable hands, and Bourne delivered. He’s clear: he wants to stay, but only if the deal makes sense for him.
So now, the offseason gets interesting. Bourne knows where he fits best, but he’s still keeping an eye on what’s building in New England. That mix of looking back and chasing what’s next makes this part of his career one to pay attention to.
MRI SCARE: STEVE KERR ADMITS STEPH CURRY’S "NEBULOUS" KNEE MAY REQUIRE SECOND IMAGING
Warriors crisis! Discover why Steph Curry may need another MRI and how Jimmy Butler’s ACL tear shifts GSW to the play-in.
The Warriors have been scrambling since Jimmy Butler went down with that ACL tear. He’s done for the year, and now Stephen Curry has to carry the offence on his own.
Right after the All-Star break, the Warriors are sitting in eighth place out West. That’s already shaky, and now Curry’s dealing with a knee injury too. The team calls it runner's knee; basically, he just needs time to heal. But then Steve Kerr gave an update that didn’t exactly inspire confidence.
Turns out, Curry might need another MRI. He tried to push through a full workout, but his knee just wasn’t right. Now, they’re waiting on imaging to figure out how long he’ll actually be out.
Meanwhile, Kristaps Porzingis still hasn’t suited up for Golden State. If Curry misses significant time, everyone else needs to step up in a big way. The Warriors already have one of the most average offences in the league, 15th at the break. No curry, and things get ugly fast. He’s already missed 16 games this season, and the team went 6-10 without him.
Losing Butler already knocked the Warriors out of serious contention. They’re pretty much locked into the play-in. Unless Curry suddenly goes supernova, it’s hard to see them catching the Thunder or making any real noise out West.
So, what’s next? The front office tried to swing big at the deadline, going after Giannis Antetokounmpo, though who knows if the Bucks ever really considered it. Giannis stayed put, but you can bet the Warriors will chase him again this summer.
If that doesn’t work, they’ll turn to other stars. They know the championship window is closing with Curry still on the roster. He’s still elite, but time’s ticking.
LeBron James even comes up as a possibility. If he declines his player option and hits free agency, maybe he’d team up with Curry for one last run at a ring.
Most likely, though, Golden State will look at trades instead of free agents to try to reload. Curry’s health isn’t what it used to be, and the Warriors know they have to make the most of whatever prime he’s got left.
