From the article

Rodgers and the Steelers were on offense on the edge of the red zone in the second quarter and facing a third-and-7. The quarterback dropped back to pass, but was nailed by Patriots defender Christian Ellis from the blindside. At the same time, fellow defender — and former Steeler — Robert Spillane hit him from the front. The impact was hard, and Rodgers was unable to hold onto the ball.

Rodgers strip-sacked in red zone, fumble lost 36 yards in Week 2 loss.

Rodgers was strip-sacked by Patriots defenders Christian Ellis and Robert Spillane on a third-and-7 play in the red zone during Week 2 against New England, resulting in a 36-yard fumble loss and forcing the Steelers to punt from fourth-and-43. The source notes this was Rodgers' first sack of the game and that the Steelers' offense remained fairly conservative, relying on runs and short passes.
