A quarterback getting called for a late hit is not something we see very often, but it was the case with Aaron Rodgers against the Bills on Sunday.
The Jets QB threw a pick on a third-and-19 while New York was down 12-0 in the third quarter, with Christian Benford making the play. He returned it for around 25 yards before heading out of bounds and getting shoved by Rodgers.

The four-time MVP was penalized for unnecessary roughness in what could be an unprecedented call where QBs are concerned. Head referee Clete Blakeman couldn’t even keep a straight face while announcing the penalty.

Aaron Rodgers set some unwanted records in the 40-14 loss on Sunday. The veteran QB became the most-sacked signal-caller in NFL history and possibly became the first to get called for a late hit.
As for the Jets, they’re now 4-12 on the back of this latest loss.
It’s hard to believe they’ve actually gotten worse since moving on from Zach Wilson.
