In a game that featured more of a baseball score than a football score for a majority of the first half, Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers made several unfortunate plays that he’ll likely hope to soon forget.

Having already fumbled deep in his own territory to gift the Chargers a safety, Rodgers made matters even worse for Pittsburgh in the second quarter. With just over two minutes left in the half, the signal caller tried to find wide receiver DK Metcalf up the seam, but badly overshot him, allowing rookie safety RJ Mickens to snag an interception.

L.A. then turned the turnover into seven points, and took a 12–3 lead into halftime.

Naturally, fans and media alike took it upon themselves to poke fun at the 41-year-old for his brutal mistake. Here’s a look at some of the best reactions across X (formerly Twitter):

Rodgers sails it in the direction of Metcalf and it's intercepted.

Been a brutal first half for 8.

That was Aaron Rodgers worst half as a Steelers QB

6-13 56 yards 1 interception 26.4 rating

Rodgers finished the first half 7-for-24 passing for 64 yards and an interception, while also committing the aforementioned safety and turning in a passer rating of just 33. We’ll have our eyes peeled to see how the second half treats him.
