The rivalry between Aaron Rodgers and Josh Allen is starting to heat up — but it’s not on the football field.
After Rodgers won the Pro-Am portion of the Pebble Beach golf tournament in February with a controversial handicap, the Bills’ superstar quarterback aired out his grievances with Rodgers on the “Pardon My Take” podcast Wednesday.
“He did [cheat],” Allen said. “I love Aaron, but he did. Not just me, [he sandbagged] the world. He may have gotten just seven or eight strokes too many at Pebble Beach. Or nine. Not from me, that’s what other sources are saying. I’m not saying that.”
“I think Aaron Rodgers should be in jail,” PFT Commenter of Barstool Sports said.
“I will say a lot of the golfers maybe thought that too,” Allen responded.
Rodgers, who won the tournament alongside his partner Ben Silverman by one shot, was thrilled by his performance after the victory.
“This is a pretty big deal for me,” Rodgers said following the win. “I’m not going to sugarcoat it.”
Allen and his partner, pro golfer Keith Mitchell, finished behind Rodgers.
“I think Josh and I won,” Mitchell, who finished fourth on the professional side of the tournament, said about the Pro-Am. “Aaron Rodgers doesn’t count. His handicap was crap.”
Rodgers didn’t shy away from gloating.
“Josh Allen was telling me there’s going to be an asterisk by this win because there [were] only three rounds,” Rodgers added. “But I think our names are going to be up there for a long time.”


Allen and Rodgers will get the chance to create a rivalry on the field this year with the two now competing in the same division after the 39-year-old joined the Jets.
While the Bills have been the class of the AFC East for the last three seasons, the Jets are quickly emerging as a contender in their own right, led by Rodgers and a rising group around him.
