“Aaron Rodgers Gonna Get Hurt”: NFL Analyst Makes Bold Claim as Taylor Swift Predicted to Attend More Games Than Jets QB

There are predictions, and then there are bold predictions. The latter lets you go rogue and call it “bold”–no limits! Trying to be bold, an analyst claimed pop queen Taylor Swift will have more ‘match appearances’ than Jets’ franchise QB Aaron Rodgers. Talk about a Hail Mary prediction.

During the “Three Bold Predictions” segment on ESPN’s SportsCenter on August 1st, NFL Analyst Nicole Briscoe stunned her co-hosts with a shocker rather than just a bold prediction. She noted that Travis Kelce‘s girlfriend, Taylor Swift, attended 13 Chiefs games in the 2023 season to support her tight-end beau. “This season,” Nicole added, “Swift will attend more games than Aaron Rodgers will play!” The other hosts collectively responded with an in-sync “whoa,” capturing the audacity of her prediction.

Although wowed by his co-host’s take, sportscaster Matt Barrie reminded that A-Rod only played four snaps last season due to his Achilles injury. It ended his debut season in New York, rather prematurely, but he recovered. Nicole defended her boldness, reminding everyone that the aim of the game was to be daring.

Indeed, the NFL is unpredictable, and last year’s abrupt end to Aaron’s season and the 40-year-old QB’s initial reaction to the injury, which he believed could end his career, was a testament to the severity. “I was really thinking, ‘This is it. You don’t come back from this injury,'” Rodgers revealed on the “I Can Fly” podcast.

On the flip side, Tay-Tay’s first game watching her beau Kelce was on September 17th. She cheered on for the TE during the Chiefs’ clash with the Jaguars. Since that touchdown debut, she was spotted in 12 more games last season, including the Chiefs’ victorious Super Bowl LVIII celebration as they clinched back-to-back titles. Looks like Swift’s game attendance has been nothing short of a winning streak!

But we know what you might be thinking. With New York eyeing Super Bowl success, they’ll be keeping a sharp eye on their 40-year-old QB1’s conditioning. So, slight chances of a repeat of 2023. Though no one can tell for sure.

Now, the big question is: Can Rodgers still run the two-minute drill?

Expectations from Aaron Rodgers after an injury-ridden season?

First things first, New York and HC Robert Saleh would be praying that Nicole’s predictions do not come through. Now, keeping aside any unpredictable cause for the absence, it’s clear that Aaron Rodgers will be leading. Not just on the gridiron, but off it as well. So, if you’re part of ‘the Gang,’ you’ll be expecting nothing short of an SB LVIX appearance from your team.

Highlighting the impact of A-Rod Craig Carton, on The Carton Show on the 11th of June, said, “Super Bowl—believe it or not, those are realistic expectations for the New York Jets. Now, this doesn’t mean they’re gonna get there; it doesn’t mean they’re gonna win the Super Bowl. But the question is: what are the expectations? And I believe they are a Super Bowl-caliber team!” The Jets are gearing up for a Hail Mary season, hoping to spike the ball in the end zone come February.

Rodgers is diving into OTAs without a hitch. With a stellar 475:105 TD-to-INT ratio and 59,055 passing yards across 231 starts, he’s a mistake-free machine! Sports Illustrated’s Evan Massey backed this up while jotting down his expectations from the “Chicago’s most-hated player”. According to the reporter, Rodgers’ 2024 season will finish somewhat like this. He would throw 4,200 yards, 30 touchdowns, and just seven interceptions. Though AR might not be the same old QB, his football IQ remains unbeatable.

Aaron Rodgers is ready to turn back the clock to the ‘AR12’ days and put together a vintage season. Do you believe the 40-year-old can bring the Lombardi Trophy back to the Gang Green’s crib for the first time since 1969?
