Russell Wilson responds to Aaron Rodgers' God comment
Did Aaron Rodgers take a subtle jab at Russell Wilson after the Packers' 27-17 victory over the Seahawks in Week 2?
In Rodgers' postgame news conference, the quarterback stated: "I think God was a Packers fan tonight, so he was taking care of us."
The two teams have some history dating back to the NFC Championship Game in January, when the Seahawks erased a 19-7 deficit with about four minutes remaining in regulation and then won on a touchdown in overtime.
After the victory, Wilson continually gave thanks to God in his postgame interview.
When asked about Rodgers' comments this week, Wilson responded in a polite way -- in typical fashion almost expected of the Seahawks quarterback.
"I think that in terms of that comment and all that, everybody has the right to their own opinion," Wilson said, via ESPN Seattle. "I know for me, I'm just grateful that God has given me the opportunity to play the great game of football."
