The sideline demeanor of Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers is always big news, especially when things are not going well.
Cameras have a way of finding him to get his real-time reaction.
A Sunday night game clip in Pittsburgh seemed to show Rodgers doing something quite disgusting.
Per the video evidence, Aaron Rodgers appeared to not only pick his nose, which is normal, but it also caught him eating it, which is not normal.

Despite the stats saying Aaron Rodgers tossed two picks against the Pittsburgh Steelers, we can clearly see that he had three with his behavior on the sidelines.
Fast forward to Tuesday, and the New York Jets quarterback made his weekly appearance on the Pat McAfee Show to address the matter.

“I’ve actually never eaten my boogers, and it’s something I’m very proud of,” Rodgers said.
“It’s a tough look to try and defend because that video is a little incriminating,” he added while watching the footage. “There needs to be a side view that shows that there wasn’t a boog that actually went in the mouth. It seems like I didn’t get anything on that one. I was just seeing what was going on. But yeah, it’s a bad look.”

Aaron Rodgers finished Sunday’s game with 276 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions on 24 of 39 passing. The Jets fell to 2-5, losing their fourth consecutive game.
Trading for wide receiver Davante Adams showed no difference in the struggling offense.
Aaron Rodgers Has To Play Better If The Jets Want To Have Any Chance In 2024
The Jets enjoyed success from 2001 to 2010, making the playoffs six times. It has been all downhill since then.
The franchise has not been back to the postseason since that 2010 season.
The team wanted that streak to end when they traded for Aaron Rodgers, but his first year was cut short after a few plays.
Despite all the hoopla going into year two, Rodgers, nor the team, have played good enough to show they have a shot at making the postseason.
BREAKING: ESPN Makes Shocking Decision On Aaron Rodgers Amid His Controversial Beef With Jimmy Kimmel
ESPN has reportedly made a decision on Aaron Rodgers’ future amid his bitter public feud with popular talk shot host Jimmy Kimmel.
During his appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” on Tuesday, Rodgers indicated that Kimmel is on the client list of disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. There is no evidence linking Kimmel to the client list.
Following Rodgers’ comments, Kimmel took to X/Twitter and called out Rodgers, even threatening to take him to court (WARNING: Tweet Below Contains Language That Is NSFW):
According to Michael McCarthy of Front Office Sports, the situation is “squarely in Kimmel’s court.” Mike Foss, the ESPN senior VP of digital and studio production, indicated that Rodgers’ appearances on McAfee’s program will continue:
“Pat announced today that he’s planning on Aaron joining the show Tuesday. Aaron made a dumb and factually inaccurate joke about Jimmy Kimmel,” Foss said. “The show will continue to evolve. It wouldn’t surprise me if Aaron’s role evolves with it.”

Rodgers makes weekly appearances on McAfee’s popular program that was picked up by the Worldwide Leader in Sports last year after the former NFL punter got out of his show deal with FanDuel.
The 40-year-old Rodgers has made promoted several conspiracy theories and COVID-19 misinformation in his appearances on McAfee’s show. As such, many wondered if ESPN would have Rodgers removed from the show, but that obviously won’t be the case.
Rodgers was acquired by the Jets in a trade with the Packers ahead of last year’s NFL Draft. The four-time league MVP suffered a torn Achilles in Week 1 that abruptly ended his season.
