New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers is taking some heat online following his team’s fifth loss of the season, with the QB now thought to be blaming the media for their failings.
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.
“Stop listening to you guys, number one.”

Social Media Hits Out At Aaron Rodgers After His Comments
Social media users did not appreciate Rodgers’s unwarranted attack on the media and sounded off in the comments.
“Rodgers has moved on to blaming the media 🤦♂️,” an account shared.
“You are what your record says you are. That’s not coming from the media, it’s the truth. 2-5,” someone else pointed out.
“His hostility towards the media is directly correlated to his team’s record. In the offseason or when they’re winning, he’s super friendly and charismatic. When they’re losing, he blames the media for things they have absolutely nothing to do with,” said another.
“Woody Johnson got fooled. Russell Wilson looked so much better last night,” a comment read.
There’s still hope that Rodgers and the Jets will come good this season. However, they don’t have that many games left to turn things around, with seven now in the rearview mirror.
VIDEO: Cameras Caught Jets QB Aaron Rodgers Doing The Grossest Thing On Sideline During Blowout Loss To Steelers On SNF

Cameras caught New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers doing something extremely gross during his team’s humiliating road loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on “Sunday Night Football.”
There was plenty of hype around the Jets heading into Week 7’s prime-time clash. Last week, New York granted another one of Aaron Rodgers’ wishes by acquiring old friend and All-Po wide receiver Davante Adams from the Las Vegas Raiders, finally reuniting the former Green Bay Packers.
But little went right for the Jets, who surrendered 31 unanswered points to Russell Wilson and company in a 37-15 defeat. But oh, the score itself was far from the only humiliating aspect for Rodgers.
Cameras also caught Rodgers picking his nose and eating his booger late in the game (did the four-time league MVP really think cameras wouldn’t catch this?)

What can we say? It was just a miserable day all-around for Aaron Rodgers and the Jets, whose playoff hopes are on thin ice after a fourth straight defeat. Now at 2-5, the Jets probably have to finish 8-2 to qualify for the postseason.
Rodgers completed 24 pass attempts for 276 yards, a touchdown and two game-changing interceptions. Adam wasn’t much of a factor in his Jets debut, catching just three passes for 30 yards.
Aaron Rodgers & Jets Have Disappointed Through Seven Weeks
Well, the second act of Rodgers’ career certainly hasn’t gone as expected. The 2024 Jets are another tough reminder that not every QB can achieve immediate success with a second team the way Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Peyton Manning, Brett Favre and Joe Montana all did.
Rodgers is struggling behind a lackluster offensive line, questionable coaching and an inconsistent defense. Wide receivers Garrett Wilson and Mike Williams haven’t been able to get open, and it’s clear that Rodgers still has a long way to go in getting on the same page as his receivers.
