GREEN BAY, Wisc. -- Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said he doesn't think God cares about the outcomes of football games, the LA Times reported.
Rodgers was responding to listener questions Tuesday on a weekly radio show with ESPN Wisconsin. The question comes after the Seahawks beat the odds and overcame a 16 - 0 first-half deficit and beat the Packers 28 - 22 in overtime Sunday.
The quarterback was asked if such a big loss shakes his faith since athletes often thank God for their successes.
According to SI.com, radio host Jason Wilde read the following question:
Rodgers' response:
Seahawks QB Russell Wilson told reporter Peter King that a divine influence made Sunday's NFC Championship so exciting.
“That’s God setting it up, to make it so dramatic, so rewarding, so special,” Wilson reportedly told King. “I’ve been through a lot in life, and had some ups and downs. It’s what’s led me to this day.”
Rodgers has previously said he is religious.
"I just try to follow Jesus' example, leading by example," Rodgers said before Super Bowl XLV.
The Seahawks play the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLIX on Feb. 1.
