Bills' Allen accuses Jets' Rodgers of cheating at golf tournament
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has beef with Aaron Rodgers over the New York Jets signal-caller's AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am victory.
Allen accused Rodgers of sandbagging at the February golf tournament during an appearance on the "Pardon My Take" podcast.
"He did," Allen said when asked if Rodgers cheated. "I love Aaron, but he did."
Allen pointed out that Rodgers played with a handicap of 10 when, according to Golf Digest's Alex Myers, his usual handicap is 3.
"He may have gotten seven or eight strokes too many at Pebble Beach, or nine," Allen said. "Not from me, that's from what other sources are saying. I'm not saying that."
Rodgers and his partner Ben Silverman finished at 26-under par to win the event by one shot. Allen and his partner, PGA TOUR player Keith Mitchell, finished fourth.
Mitchell expressed his own doubts about the legitimacy of Rodgers' win back in February.
"I think Josh and I won. Aaron Rodgers doesn't count," Mitchell said. "His handicap was crap. I haven't looked. I think we were on 18, we might've been up there. But if we finish second to Aaron I consider us winning the trophy."
Allen and Rodgers will face each other twice this season, beginning in Week 1 when the Jets host the Bills on Monday Night Football.
