Aaron Rodgers took a dig at Patrick Mahomes’ brother Jackson
Before the golf match, one interviewer asked Rodgers about his favorite social media platform. In reply, he said, “Probably Instagram. It used to be Twitter when Twitter was fun.”
Then, he took a dig at Mahomes, as he said, “Pat I’m sure is a big TikToker, runs in the family.“
“Pat I’m sure is a big TikToker. Runs in the family.”

Notably, Rodgers was referring to Jackson’s TikTok career and some of his viral videos. Last year in October, the Chiefs beat the Commanders by 31-13. After the match, Jackson started dancing on late Commanders’ safety Sean Taylor’s jersey number while filming a TikTok video.
For me to even acknowledge Jackson Mahomes he must've done something irredeemably stupid like dancing on the memorial of a beloved player who died prematurely while his family was in attendance on the day they retired his number. I need apologies stat & not just from him. pic.twitter.com/Hw8b2RBVWX

It is worth mentioning that the Commanders retired Taylor’s jersey number after the safety tragically passed away in 2007. Jackson suffered plenty of backlash for his actions; some of them criticized Patrick Mahomes as well. However, Jackson later took down the video and sent a sincere apology to Taylor and his family.
On the other hand, the golf match was plenty of fun, as the team of veteran QBs beat the team of Mahomes and Allen. Moreover, Rodgers sunk a birdie to give his team the win after Allen missed his shot previously.
