ESPN insider derides Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers’ ‘utter nonsense’ after bizarre international week criticism

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers drew sharp criticism from ESPN NFL insider Dan Graziano after making a claim about an international week proposal during previous collective bargaining agreement discussions. The criticism comes as the Steelers prepare for a pivotal Week 8 rematch against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Pittsburgh enters the AFC North matchup at 5-2 after defeating the New Orleans Saints 16-10 in Paris last Sunday. Rodgers’ comments centered on the possibility of the NFL creating an “international week,” during which every team would play outside the United States in exchange for an additional bye week.
