Aaron Rodgers Blasted by NFL Fans After Ugly First Half vs. Vikings

In this story:
Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets are kicking of Sunday's Week 5 action with a showdown against the Minnesota Vikings in London, and after 30 minutes of play one thing was very clear—the veteran quarterback's early-season struggles are continuing in a big way.
Rodgers had an ugly first half against the Vikings, throwing for just 95 yards and two interceptions (including a pick-six). He was able to throw a TD late in the second quarter to give the Jets some life with a 17-7 deficit heading into the break, but he and the Jets' offense haven't looked great for the second straight week.
Here's Rodgers's pick-six;

Fans had fun roasting Rodgers:
What should never be forgotten is that Aaron Rodgers was 90% retired, locked himself in a dark house for a few days and had a revelation that he wanted to play for the Jets.
