Jets: Aaron Rodgers Destroyed For Blaming Most Ridiculous Reason For Steelers Loss

The New York Jets’ season went from bad to worse on Sunday.  The acquisition of Davante Adams and the reworked contract of Haason Reddick did not stop the Pittsburgh Steelers from absolutely demolishing New York.

However, Rodgers excuse after the game had fans buzzing on social media.

In the aftermath of his team’s fifth loss of the season, Aaron Rodgers has taken some heat online, with the quarterback placing the blame elsewhere:

The Jets lost another game on Sunday night, falling to the Pittsburgh Steelers on the road. Despite several notable changes, they are now 2-5 heading into their eighth game of the season.

Even with the Davante Adams reunion party underway, the Jets got little going in their offense in the second half of the ‘Sunday Night Football’ fixture, with Russell Wilson snatching all of the plaudits up after a first appearance for Pittsburgh.

A-Rod was asked how he plans on keeping belief in the team up in the locker room after the loss and took a shot at the press.

“Stop listening to you guys, number one,” he replied.

“Number two, gotta be accountable, you know. I gotta play better,” he added.
