Furious Aaron Rodgers explodes at his Steelers teammate over botched play against Bengals

Aaron Rodgers was left fuming at one of his Steelers teammates on Thursday night as a miscommunication led to a botched play against the Bengals.

In the second quarter, Rodgers handed the ball off to running back Jaylen Warren - with the passer expecting his teammate to run the ball up the middle.

However, Warren stopped after a couple of steps and actually tossed the ball back to Rodgers for a flea flicker.

After unexpectedly receiving the ball, Rodgers scrambled before tossing it into the ground near the feet of Jonnu Smith.

But cameras then caught Rodgers berating Warren for his mistake.   

'What are you doing?… It wasn’t a flea flicker,' he appeared to say to his teammate.

The Steelers were ultimately forced to punt on the drive after an incomplete pass to Smith on third down.

And it wasn't long before Rodgers made a blunder of his own as he threw an interception to Cincinnati's Jordan Battle in the second quarter.

Battle returned the ball 34 yards to the Pittsburgh 45-yard-line.

And that turnover set up a Cincinnati score, as Joe Flacco connected with Tee Higgins for a touchdown just four plays later.

Rodgers was later charged with a second interception just before halftime when DJ Turner II ripped the ball from DK Metcalf's hands near the sideline.

Overall, though, it's been a positive start for Rodgers in Pittsburgh, as the Steelers entered Thursday night's clash with a 4-1 record.
