‘That’s Just Normal’: Aaron Rodgers Reacts to Tunnel Altercation Between His Teammate and Bills WR Stefon Diggs

A few days back, the Packers lost their fourth game against the Bills at their home. Before the game started, one interesting incident took place. The Packers’ cornerback Jaire Alexander had an altercation with the Bills’ wide receiver Stefon Diggs. This incident garnered plenty of reactions on social media, as Aaron Rodgers finally provided his perspective regarding the incident.

Notably, Rodgers recently appeared on the Pat McAfee show, where he talked about the trash-talking incident between Alexander and Diggs.

During the show, one of the hosts asked Rodgers about the altercation and Rodgers initially made a funny joke about it. Then he said, “We were coming out for pre-game warm-ups and they were kind of amassing by their locker room entrance as well. Look, it’s all pros, so there’s going to be those conversations.“

“I don’t know, that’s just normal trash talk to me, and those are two great competitors. I thought both their responses, you know at the end of the game, were pretty funny,” the 38-year-old Packers quarterback further added.

At one point, Alexander could be seen jawing Diggs, as they continued to trash talk while coming out of the tunnel. After the game, Diggs said, “I don’t give a f**k who started it. I finished it.”

Can the Packers qualify for the playoffs with their offensive struggle?

The Packers‘ season is almost over after losing their fourth straight game against the Bills this Sunday. Despite the solid effort from their defense, their offensive struggle continues to haunt them in big moments. Moreover, Rodgers himself hasn’t played well to give his team further support, particularly his lack of deep passes.

Currently, his yards per pass attempt is around 6.6, which is the lowest in his career; his offensive line is also not helping him enough. Meanwhile, the Packers are currently in the second position in the NFC North division behind the Vikings, despite losing 5 out of 8 games. If they want to qualify for the playoffs, they need to start winning games immediately. Their next opponent will be the Lions, one of the worst teams this season, in terms of win-loss record. Next Sunday, they need to win, which could shift their momentum this season.
