Lot of sadness, lot of tears, lot of dark frustration and anger, all the gamut of emotions. But then the sun rose the next day.\u201d  <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">      Rodgers told McAfee he knew the extent of his injury before the results of his MRI, but said he will be fueled during his recovery by his doubters.  <\/p>\n<div class=\"gallery-inline gallery--hidden\">\n<div class=\"gallery-inline__main\">\n<div class=\"gallery-inline__container\">\n<div class=\"gallery-inline__slides\">                                                                                                                                <\/div>\n<p>        <button class=\"gallery-inline__prev-overlay\"><\/button>        <button class=\"gallery-inline__next-overlay\"><\/button>      <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5 class=\"gallery-inline__headline\">The best photos from the 2023 NFL season<\/h5>\n<div class=\"gallery-inline__counter\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"gallery-inline__controls\">        <button class=\"gallery-inline__prev\">          Prev                  <\/button>        <button class=\"gallery-inline__next\">          Next                  <\/button>      <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">      \u201cBefore even an MRI, I knew what happened. I knew I had torn my Achilles,\u201d Rodgers said.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">      \u201cI think what I\u2019d like to say is \u2018Give me the doubts.\u2019 Give me the doubts, give me the timetables, give me all the things you think can, should or will happen, because all I need is that one little extra percent of inspiration. That\u2019s all I need. So give me your timetables, give me your doubts, give me your prognostications, and then watch what I do.\u201d  <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">      The 39-year-old was sacked by Buffalo Bills edge rusher Leonard Floyd and suffered a complete tear of his left Achilles tendon \u2013 much to NFL fans\u2019 disappointment.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">      Rodgers, who underwent surgery, was not asked Friday about the MetLife Stadium artificial turf and whether it played a role in his injury.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">      Data from the past eight years shows there is no difference in the rate of Achilles injuries on natural grass and synthetic surfaces, Jeff Miller, NFL executive vice president of communications, public affairs and policy, and health and safety, said during a virtual news conference Tuesday.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">      Rodgers\u2019 backup, Zach Wilson, came in to fill the quarterback void and led the team to a 22-16 overtime victory over the Bills after undrafted rookie wide receiver Xavier Gipson returned a punt 65 yards for a walk-off touchdown.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">      The reaction to Rodgers\u2019 injury on social media was filled with emotion, with many Jets fans mourning the loss of the player they thought might be a final piece in a Super Bowl-winning team. ESPN host and Jets fan Mike Greenberg said on Tuesday the emotional roller coaster of the last six months makes this such a painful moment.   <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">      \u201cI want more than anyone to be furious today, but the reality is, sometimes things just happen. There really isn\u2019t anybody to be mad at,\u201d Greenberg said on \u2018Get Up.\u2019 \u201cFootball is inherently a violent and dangerous game, injuries are going to take place 100% of the time and you just have to hope that yours is not the team, if you are a fan, whose season is destroyed by an injury.\u201d  <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">      Before being traded in the offseason, Rodgers had spent the first 18 seasons of his NFL career with the Green Bay Packers, where he led the team to a 31-25 victory in Super Bowl XLV in 2011.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">      Rodgers won MVP awards in 2011, 2014, 2020 and 2021, while setting numerous records for his accuracy and deadliness over the years.  <\/p>\n\n<div>This post appeared first on cnn.com<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers, in his weekly interview with \u201cThe Pat McAfee Show,\u201d described his season-ending injury that quickly ended what he thought would be an exciting debut with the team.
