Outspoken New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who won't be returning to action this season despite having dropped multiple hints at trying to do so after having suffered an Achilles tear in September, is making his thoughts known over the fact that his former NFC North division rival Detroit Lions are now the division winners. 

As you remember, Rodgers terrorized the Lions for years as quarterback of the Green Bay Packers. However, it's a different story this time around, as Detroit captured their first division title in 30 years and will be hosting a playoff game at Ford Field for the very first time. 

For Rodgers, he isn't shy about saying that he's not enjoying seeing Detroit's success. 

"Um, I'm not happy," Rodgers explained during his weekly appearance on the Pat McAfee Show. "Although I'm in New York, I still want the green and gold to take the North every year!"

However, he did throw a few compliments Detroit's way.

"They've got a good football team,'' he said. "Jared (QB Goff) has had a really nice season. Obviously (Amon-Ra) St. Brown is a fantastic receiver ... two really good backs ... The line's really good on both sides of the ball, defense has been playing good. ... 

"I think the NFC's really deep.''
