Aaron Rodgers is being roasted by NFL fans for his statement about “darkness” after the Jets' loss

Kathleen William October 27, 2024

Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets continued their brutal season with another loss, falling to the New England Patriots 25-22. That's five losses in a row for a team that started the season with very high expectations but is now tied for the final spot in the AFC East with a record of 2-6.

Shortly after the game, Jets coach Jeff Ulbrich, who replaced Robert Saleh after his firing earlier this month, told reporters that the team was now in a “moment of darkness.”

Rodgers knows all about the darkness, having spent time in a darkness retreat after the 2022 season. When asked about Ulbrich’s line, the QB had this to say: “I was in the dark. You have to go in there and make peace with it.”

“I was in the dark. You have to go in there and make peace with it.”

If your quarterback generally talks like Rust Cohle, that's a bad sign https://t.co/ZjzR74rG1q

Bet Jets fans wish he had stayed in the dark and not come to New York.

Who would have thought that almost a season and a half into his career, he would have two wins. It is absolutely priceless. https://t.co/IQMGPRu9OA
