Aaron Rodgers has had a challenging year. On Monday, the team scored a big win. However, their stars did not align earlier in the campaign. Additionally, troublesome reports concerning the franchise’s offensive stance angered football fans. But A-Rod threw all the attributes out there with a sly remark. But the journalist did not sit back as he countered the QB1’s opinion on Twitter.

The Athletic’s Kalyn Kahler reported on how the Packers’ offense struggled to learn the hand movements. Aaron Rodgers used nearly 30 hand signals, which athletes need to study. However, the franchise did not orient the moves officially, and the rookies had to recall them every Saturday. The Packers’ QB1 deflected the claims and had a scathing response to the reports.

But Kalyn Kahler did not sit back. The Athletic’s senior writer reciprocated Pat McAfee and Aaron Rodgers‘ thoughts on Twitter. She mentioned, “[Pat McAfee] all i have to say is all the sources were on the record. you could, you know, read it to find that out.”

Aaron Rodgers trashed The Athletic’s report and did not mince words on The Pat McAfee Show. He voiced his opinion, saying it was the “dumbest nothing burger” article. He also said most of the report was “absolute, complete horsesh*t” and “exaggerated nothingness.” But the senior writer stood by her reporting.

People saw the Packers’ problems when they failed to capitalize this season. However, they revived their chances to reach the playoffs after their win over the Rams. But the MNF game also had a moment when A-Rod got mad over Christian Watson.

The Packers picked up a much-needed win over the LA Rams and revived their playoff hopes. However, there was a moment when Aaron Rodgers looked infuriated at his teammate. The Packers QB1 tossed a pass to Christian Watson close to the goal line. However, the receiver was not looking for the ball. It resulted in an incomplete pass, and Rodgers was sensibly upset with the rookie.
