Aaron Rodgers wasn’t limited to picks on the field.
During the Jets’ horrific 37-15 loss to the Steelers on “Sunday Night Football,” Rodgers appeared to be on the sideline digging for gold in his nose and taking his treasure to his mouth.
The moment occurred in the game’s final minute, with the Steelers well in control of the game.
Pittsburgh would score a meaningless garbage time touchdown as they ran the score up even more.
In another moment that caught viewer’s eyes, Rodgers was seen inhaling from a water bottle in what was likely smelling salts.
In the background of the video, a woman watching from home can be heard asking, “what is that?”
Rodgers’ biggest problem, though, is the Jets’ struggles on the field.
The veteran had another off game against the Steelers, throwing for 276 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions.
Although one of those turnovers was a game-changing mistake by Garrett Wilson, who dropped a pass between the numbers and it was immediately caught by a defender who nearly returned it for a touchdown.
New offensive weapon Davante Adams didn’t do Rodgers any favors either, as the two only connected on three of his nine targets against a challenging Steelers defense.
The Jets’ defense hasn’t been up to snuff since owner Woody Johnson fired coach Robert Saleh.
They allowed Najee Harris to run for 102 yards, while Russell Wilson made his Steelers debut and performed admirably, going 16-of-29 for 264 yards and two touchdowns.
That defense will need a lot of help from Hasson Reddick, who is expected to return to the team after a lengthy holdout.
Rodgers and the Jets are now 2-5 as their season looks to be on the fringes of a meltdown while they prepare to face the Patriots in Foxborough on Sunday.
