Mike Williams Shades Aaron Rodgers For Saying He Ran The Wrong Route After Scoring His First TD As A Steeler

Aaron Rodgers, the New York Jets quarterback, pointed fingers at his ex-teammate Mike Williams for running the wrong route during a crucial late-game interception.

According to Rodgers, “It’s gotta be down the redline.” And then Mike Williams after being traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers scores his first touchdown and then throws a shade at Aaron with the caption, “Thankful #WholeLotta #WeBack #RedLine.”

Williams seemingly took the opportunity to throw some shade back at the Jets’ quarterback. It seems it’s not over between these two players even with Williams joining a new team.

Rodgers explained to the media after the Jets’ 23–20 loss that there was miscommunication on the route that Williams ran.

“It’s two vertical [routes],” Rodgers explained to the media after the game. “Allen [Lazard] is down the seam and Mike’s down the red line. I’m looking at Allen, he puts his hand up and three guys go with him. So I’m throwing a no-look to the red line. And when I peek my eyes back there, [Williams] is running an in-breaker.

The “red line” Rodgers is referring to likely is the red stripe that many NFL teams paint on their practice fields just a few yards away from the sidelines to help receivers with their routes.

Rodgers stated that he thought Williams would be streaking down the “red line” near the sideline and not breaking toward it, thus causing his misfired throw.

On the night, Rodgers threw for 294 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception on 23-of-35 passing—good for a 99.0 passer rating. Williams, meanwhile, wasn’t able to haul in any of his three targets, and the Jets’ comeback drive was once again halted by an interception, just like in New York’s 23–17 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in London last week.

Well, it looks like we’ve got some spicy drama brewing in the NFL. Only time will tell if Rodgers and Williams can move on from this interception controversy. For now, it’s Mike proving his worth at the Pittsburgh Steelers.
