Steelers player who tackled Aaron Rodgers has great quote about incident

The Pittsburgh Steelers player who went viral for accidentally tackling Aaron Rodgers during Thursday’s game certainly does not have any regrets over the incident.

Steelers tackle Broderick Jones accidentally tackled Rodgers to the ground after the Steelers quarterback threw a go-ahead touchdown with 2:21 remaining in the fourth quarter against the Cincinnati Bengals. Rodgers’ angry reaction caused the video to go viral and prompted a lot of jokes about how the quarterback had a new least favorite teammate.

Jones admitted Monday that could not be further from the truth. In fact, he would like the chance to tackle his quarterback again.

“We’re still joking about it. He was a little mad, but it’s alright. It’s football,” Jones said. “He told me, ‘don’t lose the fire.’ I told him the same. We shall see on Sunday. If he throws another touchdown, I might tackle him again.”
