The war of words between the Jets and Giants escalated Thursday, with Aaron Rodgers firing back at the Giants' Jihad Ward.
The scene was captured on HBO's"Hard Knocks," with Rodgers and Co. laughing in the huddle as the quarterback razzed Cobb about the penalty and the expected fine from the NFL. A miffed Ward said he retaliated minutes later with a late shove of Rodgers after he completed a pass, sparking a heated exchange between the two.
In a wide-ranging interview, Rodgers addressed the big expectations surrounding the team, suggesting the increased attention has been a turn-off for some outside the organization.
