Packers QB Aaron Rodgers Takes Shot at Russell Wilson, Says 'God is Packers Fan'
Following Sunday evening's NFL game between the Seattle Seahawks and the Green Bay Packers, some football fans are taking to social media to question whether Packers Quarterback Aaron Rodgers made fun of Sehawks Quarterback Russell Wilson with a "God" comment.
After the game at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin, Rodgers said that he believes God was a Packers fan, leading his team to beat the Seahawks 27-17.
"And then getting help from God. I think God was a Packers fan tonight, so he was taking care of us," Rodgers said following the game.
Rodgers previously made headlines after he suggested that God doesn't care about football following last year's Seahawks victory over the Packers in the NFC Championship Game.
Following last year's victory, Russell Wilson credited his team's win to God, saying "God is too good all the time."
"That's God setting it up, to make it so dramatic, so rewarding, so special," Wilson added following last year's win.
Rodgers criticized Wilson's attribution to God for winning last year's NFC game, telling a Milwaukee radio station that he "[doesn't] think God cares a whole lot about the outcome."
"He cares about the people involved, but I don't think he's a big football fan," Rodgers added at time.
Wilson has long been outspoken about his Christian faith, crediting his athletic performance and success with the Seattle Seahawks to God.
The famed quarterback previously said that an interception during last year's Super Bowl was an act of God.
"The play happens, and they pick the ball off. And I take three steps," Wilson said after the Seahawks lost to the New England Patriots. "And on the third step God says to me, 'I'm using you [...] I want to see how you respond. But most importantly, I want them to see how you respond.'"
