You gotta love that Aaron Rodgers; our favorite neighborhood QBAnon is known for doing his own research, and he’s nothing if not thorough.
“Jared hadn’t thrown five incompletions, I don’t think, in a game for how many weeks, and then he throws five picks?” Rodgers said during his regular hit on Pat McAfee’s daily brain fart on ESPN on Tuesday, referencing Jared Goff’s five-INT game on “Sunday Night Football.”
In spite of the five INTs, Goff’s Detroit Lions were able to rally to a 26-23 win over the Houston Texans in the national-TV game.
“I love Jared. I’m sure he’ll bounce back. The amazing stat, though, is this a true stat, that he’s done four or more picks seven times, and he’s won every single one of those games? Is that real?” Rodgers asked, and got quick confirmation from McAfee.
“That’s wild,” Rodgers said after the confirmation.
Here’s how much research Rodgers did to get that nugget:
INTERESTING 👀
This is now Jared Goff’s 7TH career game with at least 4 interceptions.
His record in those games?
6-0.
Does Goff have the Texans right where he wants them? 🤔 pic.twitter.com/Dk4uCwNc6s

Rodgers obviously missed the “Readers added context” note appended to the bottom of the tweet.
I think we’re seeing the limits of Rodgers’s abilities in the research field.
Gotta love the receipt from the guy who posted the made-up stat on Twitter.
if you’ve ever wondered how easy it is to spread fake information
i made this stat up while laying in bed at halftime of the game😭 https://t.co/4m2NnSh6qh pic.twitter.com/mWNuFF9ZLI
