Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers may have put their recent dust-up behind them, but it seems that the veteran quarterback's teammate is still itching for a rematch. Broderick Jones, the 300-pound tackle who brought down Rodgers during a touchdown celebration last week, appeared to brush off his colleague's anger over the incident on Wednesday.
However, when pressed by reporters about the possibility of another confrontation, Jones dropped a bombshell: he might just go after Rodgers again if he throws a touchdown. "We're still joking about it," Jones said with a grin. "Yeah, he was a little mad, but it's all right. It's football; it gets intense and all." But then added with a wink: "I told him, I'm getting him next. He better watch his back."
Rodgers, 41 and seemingly unfazed by the earlier tussle, claimed that Jones was always the first player to come celebrate with him after a play. The quarterback even texted Jones later to compliment his energy, but reminded him to "be gentle" due to his age.
It seems unlikely that Rodgers will be intimidated by Jones's antics again anytime soon, though. When asked if he planned on keeping an eye out for the tackle in their upcoming matchup against the Green Bay Packers, Rodgers responded with a chuckle: "I'm just focusing on our next game right now."
For now, it looks like the drama surrounding Jones and Rodgers has blown over, but we wouldn't put it past these two to stage another confrontation come Sunday. Will they be able to keep their cool in front of the cameras? Only time will tell.

meanwhile aaron rodgers seems super chill about it like he's all "cool, dude, let's move on" 
but honestly i'm a bit curious to see if jones will actually go through with his threat of getting him next 
the drama between these two is just too much entertainment value 
Broderick Jones is like the ultimate troll but I gotta give it to him, he's got game 
! And btw, Broderick's joke about "watching his back" is giving me life 
. Will they keep their cool? Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure - these two are gonna bring the heat on Sunday 
Aaron Rodgers was already 41 and still showed some anger, what if it was an older guy who lost his temper like that? Broderick Jones is being really reckless thinking he can just go after Rodgers again if hes throws a touchdown! 
Its not worth the risk of getting hurt or worse. I wish they would just focus on their games and sportsmanship 
i remember back when i was in college, we used to have these epic rivalries between teams and it would get pretty heated, but at least it was all in good fun... not so with these two. Rodgers seems cool as a cucumber tho, but jones's antics are getting old. like, dude, you're 300 pounds of muscle, calm down 
. and honestly, i'm more worried about the game itself than some trash talk between teammates. let's hope they can put their differences aside for the sake of the team... 
Like, dude, calm down and focus on the game. And what's with all these celebrations during games, anyway? Just adding to the drama and tension. I'm sure it'll all blow over when they get tackled (literally 
he might take that 2 heart Rodgers and make it interesting for them next game 
. Like, Rodgers may have thrown a tantrum last week, but Jones just shrugged it off and said he's getting him next... game. The dude's got swag! 
. And let's be real, Broderick Jones thinks he can take down the great Aaron Rodgers in a physical confrontation? 
Oh great, so Broderick Jones is still running his mouth about taking down Aaron Rodgers again... like that's going to intimidate him or anything. I mean, Rodgers has been playing football for like, forever 
... as if that's going to save him from getting hit again
