Instead of spending halftime in the locker room, Steelers coach Mike McCarthy spent it in the medical tent after he sustained an ankle injury at the conclusion of the first half.

McCarthy was starting to make his way to the locker room when he began limping and had trouble walking. He was then assisted off the field and into the blue medical tent. Notably, he did not speak to the Steelers at halftime.

Despite the injury, McCarthy returned to the sideline for the start of the second half and resumed his duties as the team's offensive playcaller. According to the CBS Sports broadcast team, McCarthy twisted his ankle, but it's unclear exactly when or what caused it.

His injury capped off a disappointing first half for the Steelers, who trailed 13-3 at intermission. Pittsburgh committed several mental errors in the first half, including:

• Darnell Washington's juggling of an Aaron Rodgers pass, which was ultimately picked off by A'Shawn Robinson.
• The interception set up the game's first score, a 43-yard field goal by Chase McLaughlin.

The Steelers' offense struggled significantly, gaining just 102 yards in the first half. They were only 1-of-6 on third downs and 0-of-1 on fourth downs.
