The Pittsburgh Steelers suffered a devastating 25-10 defeat against the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium. Following the Sunday Night Football game that pushed the team to a 5-4, fans didn’t just target coach Mike Tomlin. The hate was also extended to his daughter, Harley.

“F— THIS N—— A– M—– CLOTHES AND YOUR DADDY B—- I HOPE YOUR DAD F—— D—-,” read an email that Kiya Tomlin received, directed toward her daughter.

“Just a typical Monday after a loss…,” the head coach’s wife captioned the Instagram story containing a screenshot of the expletive-laden text, before sharing her own response.

“It truly sounds as though you are in need of some positivity and inspiration in your life,” she wrote. “We aim to offer messages of hope, inspiration, and motivation that might encourage you to move beyond being a racist sideline critic and focus on making a relevant, positive contribution in your own life.”

Later, Harley also addressed the harassment head-on, sharing her response on TikTok.

“Imagine sending my family and I racist dms & death threats and we’re just sitting here living the life you could only dream of,” she wrote, another screenshot which Kiya shared.

“Reminder to be a player and not a spectator,” the teenager captioned the post.

Back on the field, Aaron Rodgers also dealt with struggles of his own.

Mike Tomlin voices frustration as Aaron Rodgers’ struggles continue

Across his last four consecutive games, Rodgers’ statistical production has dipped: 249 passing yards, 219, 203, and then 161 in Week 10. His touchdowns during that same stretch had declined from four against the Bengals in mid-October to one in his latest game, painting the picture of a quarterback hitting a wall at precisely the wrong moment in the season.

When asked directly about Aaron Rodgers’ display, head coach Mike Tomlin stared down the reporter and responded with visible frustration.

“How would you? Next.”

When pressed further on Rodgers’ overall contribution, Tomlin provided more specific context while maintaining his critical stance.

“We as an offensive collective were off today, and certainly, Rodgers is a component of that,” Tomlin said. “I’ll let him speak for himself, but we certainly got to be better. But, certainly, they outperformed us, particularly in possession-down play.”

After the Week 10 game, their offense was ranked 29th in the league as per ESPN. In addition to this, Aaron Rodgers endured one of the worst performances of his Hall of Fame career, a night that will likely linger in his memory for all the wrong reasons. The four-time MVP completed just 16 of 31 passes for 161 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions. Rodgers finished with a passer rating of just 50.6, his worst rating of the 2025 season.

The timing couldn’t be worse for Pittsburgh. The Steelers are headed into Week 11 holding only a razor-thin one-game lead over the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC North standings.

The Pittsburgh Steelers will now face the Cincinnati Bengals, who are at 3-6 following their bye week. All eyes will be on Mike Tomlin, looking for a way to pull the team back from the brink of collapse.
