An unlikely person has come to the defense of Russell Wilson after Aaron Rodgers took a shot at the Seahawks quarterback.
The Packers finally defeated the Seahawks 27-17 in Week 2 of the regular season, breaking a four-game losing streak against Seattle. Many think Rodgers poked fun at Wilson by saying "God was a Packers fan" during a postgame interview.

Wilson, who is a devout Christian and known for thanking God during his interviews, responded well to the shot, something Rodgers' brother, Jordan, said he admired.

I actually was. Thank you https://t.co/JU2u8mVnDw
