The sideline demeanor of Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers is always big news, especially when things are not going well.
Cameras have a way of finding him to get his real-time reaction.
A Sunday night game clip in Pittsburgh seemed to show Rodgers doing something quite disgusting.
Per the video evidence, Aaron Rodgers appeared to not only pick his nose, which is normal, but it also caught him eating it, which is not normal.

Despite the stats saying Aaron Rodgers tossed two picks against the Pittsburgh Steelers, we can clearly see that he had three with his behavior on the sidelines.
Fast forward to Tuesday, and the New York Jets quarterback made his weekly appearance on the Pat McAfee Show to address the matter.
“I’ve actually never eaten my boogers, and it’s something I’m very proud of,” Rodgers said.
“It’s a tough look to try and defend because that video is a little incriminating,” he added while watching the footage. “There needs to be a side view that shows that there wasn’t a boog that actually went in the mouth. It seems like I didn’t get anything on that one. I was just seeing what was going on. But yeah, it’s a bad look.”

Aaron Rodgers finished Sunday’s game with 276 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions on 24 of 39 passing. The Jets fell to 2-5, losing their fourth consecutive game.
Trading for wide receiver Davante Adams showed no difference in the struggling offense.
Aaron Rodgers Has To Play Better If The Jets Want To Have Any Chance In 2024
The Jets enjoyed success from 2001 to 2010, making the playoffs six times. It has been all downhill since then.
The franchise has not been back to the postseason since that 2010 season.
The team wanted that streak to end when they traded for Aaron Rodgers, but his first year was cut short after a few plays.
Despite all the hoopla going into year two, Rodgers, nor the team, have played good enough to show they have a shot at making the postseason.
