Aaron Rodgers will go into the Hall of Fame as one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history. That is beyond dispute at this point. However, he is no longer in the running for the greatest. This reality does not extend to memes. It can be said that Rodgers might be the most memeable quarterback of all-time. He already had two iconic moments immortalized. The first was the iconic throwing of the tablet after a brutal interception against the Carolina Panthers.
Next was him staring in disbelief with his helmet halfway up his head after a hit against the Arizona Cardinals in 2021.
It felt like only a matter of time before Rodgers did it again since he was quarterback of the New York Jets. Something always happens with that organization. Sure enough, it took place last Sunday. In an ugly game, New York trailed the Denver Broncos 10-9 with 1:27 to play. They were at their own 40-yard line with great field position. Yet Rodgers could only manage to advance them to Denver's 32, setting up a 50-yard field goal. Kicker Greg Zuerlein missed it, handing the Jets a brutal loss.
Rodgers' reaction on the sideline was predictably superb.
Aaron Rodgers is feeling levels of pain he is not used to.
Losing the game while only scoring nine points is a level of humiliation only enhanced by the fact it was at home against a rookie quarterback in Bo Nix. Keep in mind Nix only threw for 60 yards the entire game. The fact New York's defense only gave up 10 points puts all of the blame right where Aaron Rodgers doesn't want it: on him. He completed barely half of his passes and was sacked five times. The guy looked like the 40-year-old he is. People who have long disliked him should take every opportunity to enjoy this moment. Aaron Rodgers losing is great by itself. Him creating iconic memes while losing is so much better.
