Aaron Rodgers penalized for a bad late hit after throwing interception in blowout loss to Bills

Aaron Rodgers found a way to make a bad interception worse on Sunday afternoon.

The New York Jets quarterback, after throwing a pick in the third quarter of their 40-14 loss to the Buffalo Bills, tried to make a tackle to limit the damage. But instead, Rodgers shoved Bills cornerback Christian Benfort well after he had stepped out of bounds. That led to a late hit penalty and moved the Bills even further down the field.

Rodgers didn’t really need to shove Benfort at that moment, either.
