New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers took a shot at one of his teammates following the team’s crucial 21-13 victory over the Houston Texans on “Thursday Night Football.”
Aaron Rodgers and the Jets (3-6) ended their five-game losing streak with a near-flawless second half, outscoring CJ Stroud and the Texans 21-6 in the final frame to keep their minimal postseason hopes alive.
Never one to mince words, however, Rodgers couldn’t help but call out rookie wide receiver Malachi Corley in his post-game interview after a mind-numbing mistake on the first play of the second quarter.
Corley took the toss from Rodgers and rushed it to the end zone for six. But he unfortunately committed the good ol’ DeSean Jackson and Leon Lett special by celebrating too early, throwing the ball behind him and losing possession before reaching the end zone:
Corley drops the ball just short of the end zone for a touchback while celebrating against the Texans.
