Aaron Rodgers on Beating Aaron Glenn: “I Was Happy to Beat Everyone Associated With the Jets”
Aaron Rodgers didn’t hold back when asked about Sunday’s matchup and his personal history with Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn. After the game, Rodgers was asked specifically about defeating Glenn—a former New York Jets assistant who was part of the organization when Rodgers’ time there ended contentiously.
“I was happy to beat everyone associated with the Jets,” Rodgers said with a wry smile. “After the way our exit meeting went, it felt good to come out on top.”
The comment quickly made waves, highlighting the lingering friction from Rodgers’ split with the Jets. Glenn, a respected defensive mind, spent time with New York as a coach before joining Detroit. While there’s no public record of a personal feud, Rodgers’ words suggest their final conversations in New York left a lasting impression.
Rodgers, now fully committed to his current team, emphasized that his focus was on executing the game plan, not on any off-field drama. But the veteran quarterback has long been known for playing with an edge, using perceived slights as fuel.
On the field, Rodgers delivered a sharp performance, picking apart Glenn’s defense with efficient reads and timely throws. The victory not only keeps Rodgers’ squad in the playoff conversation but also adds another chapter to his complicated history with the Jets.
For fans, it’s yet another reminder that Rodgers doesn’t forget slights easily—and when the stakes are high, he relishes proving a point.
