Controversies never cease in the NFL, and it appears that another has begun. The focus here is on Aaron Rodgers getting cold shoulder from the Texans’ head coach following their game. The Jets who come back from consecutive losses may not have earned the respect of DeMeco Ryans. After Rodgers’ outstanding performance during handshakes, Ryans disregarded the quarterback.

Rodgers was amazing on the field, scoring three touchdowns in the game. The man was unstoppable, and some speculate that this is why he was given the cold shoulder by the Texans head coach. While this may be true, there might be another reason for this behavior of HC.

Many of you may not be aware, but Ryans had a good relationship with Robert Saleh. The HC has claimed several times that Saleh was the one who taught him how to coach. With all the terrible coaching the Jets have had, there is a potential that Ryans believes Aaron Rodgers is to blame for Saleh’s dismissal.

DeMeco Ryans stated in one of the interviews, “I learned how to coach from being under Saleh. He taught me a lot when it comes to scheme when it came to just handling players, game planning. So, I learned a lot from Saleh and owe a lot to him and that’s probably the reason why I’m standing here before you. Because of him just taking me under his wing.”

All of this points to the possibility that Ryans might have a dislike for A-Rod in real life. While this is a major topic, Aaron Rodgers will have something else on his mind.

Is Aaron Rodgers’ era with the Jets not over yet?

A-Rod is all everyone in the NFL can talk about these days. The man demonstrated why he is such a well-known figure in the game with an outstanding performance. With three touchdowns, the man helped the Jets stop their five-game losing streak and provided the squad with some momentum going ahead. But some NFL analysts have already declared that A-Rod’s era in the NFL is over?

Well, some may not know this, but after the Jets fell to the Eagles, two-time Super Bowl winner Damien Woody said that Aaron Rodgers is done. The NFL legend stated, “Aaron Rodgers era is over now, it’s officially over with the New York Jets.”

This was not all; the man also attacked the entire team, referring to them as a roster rather than a team. These were some tough words, and they might be the reason the squad won. Obviously, after being hammered so much, every player will be motivated to prove themselves. If it happened, it would undoubtedly benefit them much more for the next few games, too.
