Aaron Rodgers Describes the Scene at Jets Facility After Finding Out His Coach Was Fired: ‘Like in a John Wick Movie’

Aaron Rodgers said the moment New York Jets players found out their coach was fired reminded him of a scene from the action film series John Wick .

The Jets on Tuesday made the stunning move to part ways with head coach Robert Saleh . The firing came days after the team lost 23-17 to the Minnesota Vikings in London.

With the loss, the team fell to 2-3. Still, thanks to other teams in the AFC East struggling, the Jets remain second in the division behind only the Buffalo Bills.

Jets owner Woody Johnson , however, apparently felt the team was headed in the wrong direction and made his first in-season firing since buying the franchise in 2000.

On Wednesday’s episode of The Pat McAfee Show , Rodgers described how it felt like a John Wick scene at the team facility.

“Well, I was in the training room doing rehab,” Rodgers said, “and it’s one of those things — like in a John Wick movie, is the best way to equate it — where John Wick becomes ‘excommunicado,’ And then everybody at the Continental’s phone starts vibrating.”

In the movies, Wick — played by Keanu Reeves — is a famed assassin forced out of retirement after being the victim of a home invasion. At some point in the series, he becomes “excommunicado” — or excommunicated — from the film’s secret society of assassins. This makes Wick a target, and the other assassins receive the news simultaneously on their phones.
