In the 2022-23 NFL season, there were plenty of big rivalries among quarterbacks. The NFL world has already seen a good match-up between two old guards, Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers. On the other hand, two young QBs, Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes are already on the verge of creating a new rivalry.
Meanwhile, the four quarterbacks already had a fierce battle, not on the football field, but on a golf course. Earlier on June 1, the team of Rodgers and Brady played against the team of Allen and Mahomes in a golf match at Capital One’s The Match. Before the match, Rodgers started the trash talk about taking a sly dig at Mahomes regarding one incident with his brother, Jackson Mahomes.

Aaron Rodgers took a dig at Patrick Mahomes’ brother Jackson
Before the golf match, one interviewer asked Rodgers about his favorite social media platform. In reply, he said, “Probably Instagram. It used to be Twitter when Twitter was fun.”
Then, he took a dig at Mahomes, as he said, “Pat I’m sure is a big TikToker, runs in the family.“
“Pat I’m sure is a big TikToker. Runs in the family.”

Notably, Rodgers was referring to Jackson’s TikTok career and some of his viral videos. Last year in October, the Chiefs beat the Commanders by 31-13. After the match, Jackson started dancing on late Commanders’ safety Sean Taylor’s jersey number while filming a TikTok video.
For me to even acknowledge Jackson Mahomes he must've done something irredeemably stupid like dancing on the memorial of a beloved player who died prematurely while his family was in attendance on the day they retired his number. I need apologies stat & not just from him. pic.twitter.com/Hw8b2RBVWX

It is worth mentioning that the Commanders retired Taylor’s jersey number after the safety tragically passed away in 2007. Jackson suffered plenty of backlash for his actions; some of them criticized Patrick Mahomes as well. However, Jackson later took down the video and sent a sincere apology to Taylor and his family.
