Aaron Rodgers missed the opportunity to assist the New York Jets on the field to battle the defending Lombardi Trophy victor Kansas City Chiefs. Yet, the Jets’ hero did not miss the opportunity to imbue confidence in his gang through his presence in the gallery.
As expected, his entrance was mostly like a Batman on Saturday night football, leading the Jets to become more confident and Patrick Mahome’s team to witness a hard battle against the Jets. Although Rodgers was unable to compete against Mahomes on the field, they did meet off-field and have a conversation that Rodgers recently revealed.
Aaron Rodgers shares pregame chat details with Patrick Mahomes
For supporters of Aaron Rodgers, the Pat McAfee show has taken on a central role as a place where they can learn more about their favorite franchise quarterback. The former Green Bay Packers player was spotted standing on the sideline during pregame warm-ups and many Chiefs, including Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes, came over to talk to him.
On his weekly appearance on the program, Pat McAfee consequently questioned the 39-year-old about what he said to the Chiefs’ standout player Partrick Mahomes before the game.
The four-time MVP responded by disclosing the facts of his brief talk, which was entirely predicated on the fact that the pair repeatedly had opportunities to compete against one another but failed to grab them.
“I got to have a quick chat with Patrick about how every time we’re supposed to play each other it doesn’t happen”, he said.
In that program, he claimed that Mahomes’ performance had not captured his affection and commended the Jets’ offense for its ability to control Travis Kelce.
Has Patrick Mahomes ever played against Aaron Rodgers?
The NFL community has yet to witness a head-to-head matchup between Mahomes and Rodgers because every time excitement for the clash rose, unanticipated obstacles derailed the ideal contest, leaving fans eagerly anticipating the day these two elite quarterbacks square off on the field.
Two matches between Mahomes and A-rod were postponed throughout his 18-year career in Green Bay. The first one was in 2018 when Mahomes missed the Chiefs’ Week 8 game against the Packers while recovering from a knee injury and the Packers won the match with a score of 31-24.
Fast forward to the 2021 season, and the excitement was palpable once again, the Chiefs and Packers were on a collision course, but this time it was the former Packers superstar who missed it after testing positive for COVID and being isolated. At that time, the Chiefs defeated the Packers 13-7.
As the 2023 season began, another showdown between Mahomes’ extraordinary arm skill and Aaron Rodgers’ extraordinary pocket presence and pass accuracy was in the way, the Jets superstar tore his Achilles hill and was sidelined for the whole season.
