Aaron Rodgers Seemed to Dislike a Jets Play Call, and NFL Fans Had Lots of Nathaniel Hackett Jokes

Aaron Rodgers hasn’t been able to play since suffering a torn Achilles tendon in Week 1, but he’s been a presence on the Jets sideline during games where he’s been seeing helping out Zach Wilson and listening in on play calls. 

Well, it seemed as if NBC’s cameras might have captured Rodgers’ distaste for one of offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett’s calls during the second quarter of Sunday night’s loss to the Raiders.

In case you missed it, NBC showed Hackett making a call and then panned to Rodgers, who seemed to shake his head. 

Check this out: 

Great live sequence here inadvertently captured by NBC cameras.

NFL fans had lots of jokes: 

This is why Rodgers makes Hackett look like a good coach: Rodgers doesn’t actually listen to what Hackett calls and just calls his own plays https://t.co/SESA34YkKt
