Green Bay Packers coordinators Adam Stenavich, Jeff Hafley and Rich Bisaccia answered questions from the media on Thursday. Matt LaFleur’s team is preparing to play the Pittsburgh Steelers in primetime on “Sunday Night Football” in Week 8.

Some big things to know from the Packers’ three coordinators:

Offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich

Packers running back Josh Jacobs is tied for the NFL lead with eight rushing touchdowns in the red zone after tying for the NFL lead with 14 red zone touchdowns last season. His 22 red-zone rushing touchdowns over the last two seasons are the most among all players.

“He’s one of the most relentless runners I’ve ever seen, especially when we’re down in the red zone,” Stenavich said. “His mindset and relentless effort to get in is special.”

Defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley

Hafley said Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers looks as “physically gifted as ever” and “rejuvenated” in his 21st NFL season and first with the Steelers. He’s making plays with his feet, checking in the right plays and playing fast and on time as a thrower.

“I don’t know how he does it,” Hafley said.

Hafley also talked about a few of his own players, specifically Devonte Wyatt and Quay Walker. The Packers defensive coordinator said Wyatt looked like one of the NFL’s best interior defenders to start this season, especially in terms of creating disruptive plays. He also said Walker is playing at an “elite level” this season. On Walker: “I think he’s taken a step, and I believe there’s more room (for improvement)…I love being around the guy right now, and I give him a ton of credit, he’s doing an awesome job.”

Special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia

Bisaccia got Brandon McManus back at practice on Thursday, and he said the Steelers special teams would his team’s “biggest challenge” of the year so far. He pointed to the depth of the Steelers coverage players, the difficulty of facing a lefty punter, the quality of the Steelers returners and the experience of the special teams coach, Danny Smith. It remains unclear if McManus will return from a right quad injury this week.
