Russell Wilson says everyone’s entitled to their opinion.
The Seahawks quarterback was responding to a comment made by Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers after Green Bay’s victory against Seattle on Sunday night.

"I know for me, I'm just grateful that God has given me the opportunity to play the great game of football, Wilson said (via ESPN) Thursday. "I'm so grateful. I know that one of the things my parents always taught me is just continue to remain humble in your victories and your losses. And I think that's just the thing that I'm grateful for, just to be able to play the game of football. I love it. Like I said, everybody's entitled to their own opinion.
During a post-game interview, Rodgers said about the win, “… And then getting help from God. I think God was a Packers fan tonight, so he was taking care of us.”
Rodgers and Wilson have exchanged a few comments on the subject since the Seahawks beat the Packers in last season’s NFC championship game.
