New York Jets' Aaron Rodgers is not yet ready to retire from the NFL despite suffering a brutal season-ending injury this 2023 season.

The 39-year-old gave that affirmation when he witnessed the Jets fall to the New England Patriots in Week 3, 15-10.

"Sitting my ass down to watch a whole game on Sunday was every confirmation I needed that I'm not done and I'm gonna keep playing..

"Sitting my ass down to watch a whole game on Sunday was every confirmation I needed that I'm not done and I'm gonna keep playing," Rodgers said. "I'm not ready to find something else to do on my Sunday's and I still love it."

Rodgers weighed in on the Jets latest loss and urged his teammates to stay positive when it comes to handling adversity, ESPN reported.

This had something to do with what he saw from his teammates while watching the game. That included seeing Garret Wilson and Michael Carter having animated conversations with the Jets' assistant coaches.

Being his leader, Rodgers believes his teammates need to mature instead of pointing fingers at each other.

"Don't point fingers at the coaching staff, don't point fingers at each other. Just get back to work and get the job done," the four-time NFL MVP quipped.

Rodgers reacts to Joe Namath's jab

Aaron Rodgers also responded to the criticism of Hall of Famer Joe Namath.

Namath took a swipe at Zach Wilson, saying that he is not the answer to the franchise's play-calling needs, USA Today reported.

"I've seen enough. Has quick feet, can throw a little bit, but I don't believe what's going on up there," the 80-year-old said.

Although he didn't address Namath directly, Rodgers was not too thrilled with the negativity being thrown the way of the New York Jets.

"I'd like to see everybody stick together - our fan base, our former players and our current players because there's too much negativity and the world is crashing down after three weeks. [It's] a long season, a lot of time, a lot of things that can happen. So, let's just take a couple breaths, OK?" Rodgers said.
