A quarterback getting called for a late hit is not something we see very often, but it was the case with Aaron Rodgers against the Bills on Sunday.
The Jets QB threw a pick on a third-and-19 while New York was down 12-0 in the third quarter, with Christian Benford making the play. He returned it for around 25 yards before heading out of bounds and getting shoved by Rodgers.
The four-time MVP was penalized for unnecessary roughness in what could be an unprecedented call where QBs are concerned. Head referee Clete Blakeman couldn’t even keep a straight face while announcing the penalty.

Aaron Rodgers does not take long to find himself a new girlfriend, no matter how long his previous relationship was.
A few years ago, the then-Green Bay Packers quarterback shocked everyone when he announced during his virtual acceptance speech for his third MVP at the NFL Honors that he was engaged.
About a year later, he and fiancée Shailene Woodley were broken up but still seen out together as just friends.
On Monday, during his appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show,” the current New York Jets quarterback revealed that he has a girlfriend while discussing the Christmas season.
His news certainly caught McAfee off guard based on his reaction.
Aaron Rodgers didn’t reveal too much about her except that her name is Brittani with an “I.”
“I used to enjoy a little outing to go do my Christmas shopping but I actually ordered all of it online this year..
I’ve been waiting on one last package to show up for my girlfriend and it showed up today”

The conversation started with Rodgers talking about his Christmas shopping habits.
The 41-year-old quarterback said he’s shifted to only online shopping, “I actually order all mine online,” Rodgers said.
There was one particular gift he hadn’t received yet, and that was for his girlfriend.
“I was a little worried ’cause there was one package left for my girlfriend Brittani that hadn’t shown up yet,” Rodgers said. “I was waiting on it to show up. And it showed up today. We’re all set. All my stuff for the (offensive) line is done, all my stuff for the QB room is done.”
Aaron Rodgers revealed that Brittani doesn’t have social media, but he noted that she’s a fan of McAfee, although she doesn’t watch “The Pat McAfee Show.”
McAfee and the other co-hosts loved the fact that Rodgers revealed his personal love situation.
“We just learned that Aaron’s in love,” McAfee said.
“It’s a good feeling, boys,” Rodgers said.
