New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers revealed his thoughts on the Atlanta Falcons' decision to bench signal caller Kirk Cousins for rookie Michael Penix Jr.

On the first play of his first NFL start, Michael Penix Jr. made a statement... on a medium-length incompletion intended for Ray Ray McCloud. It wasn't that Penix failed to connect with McCloud, even if the throw was a dart to the sideline that sliced through coverage

Cousins, who is in the first season of a four-year, $180 million contract that included $90 million guaranteed at signing, was benched by the Falcons on Tuesday.
