The internet exploded after a bizarre moment during the Steelers’ Week 7 loss to the Bengals — when offensive tackle Broderick Jones, who weighs over 300 pounds, accidentally tackled quarterback Aaron Rodgers during a touchdown celebration.
The clip quickly went viral, showing Rodgers yelling, “Get the f— off me!” as he pushed Jones away in frustration. Fans were left stunned — not just by the play itself, but by the fact that Rodgers could’ve been seriously hurt, especially after tearing his Achilles last year.
Many speculated that tension was brewing between the two, but Jones finally broke his silence after the incident, brushing off the criticism with a smirk.
“I don’t get why people are making it a big deal,” Jones said. “It’s football — we celebrate hard. If you don’t like energy, maybe you’re in the wrong game. Aaron’s fine. He knows it’s all love.”
Rodgers, however, reportedly wasn’t amused. According to team insiders, the veteran QB had stern words for Jones after the game but decided to move on without escalating things further.
Steelers fans were divided. Some defended Jones, saying his energy showed passion and brotherhood, while others warned he “nearly crushed a $50 million quarterback.”
Either way, one thing’s clear — Broderick Jones isn’t apologizing for bringing the heat, even if it means ruffling the feathers of one of the most accomplished QBs in the league.
