Two days after the Green Bay Packers were blown out in the season opener, Aaron Rodgers returned to "The Pat McAfee Show" and was open about the 38-3 loss, "a double nut shot" interception and his latest recommendation in the "Aaron Rodgers Book Club.".

Rodgers said it "was one of those days" where if you play long enough you're going to have have one of those performances.

"We had one of those last year, too," Rodgers recalled, referencing a 38-10 road loss to Tampa Bay during the 2020 regular season.

He said the few text messages he received after the game reminded him that the Buccaneers also lost to the New Orleans Saints, 38-3, last year and went on to win the Super Bowl.

We know Rodgers doesn't like to throw interceptions.

Rodgers said he feels "good" Tuesday and added he doesn't think he took many other shots in the game, for which he credited the offensive line.

More: Nothing about Aaron Rodgers' performance was expected in unexpected loss against the Saints.

Rodgers is taking his love of reading to the airwaves.

LaVar Burton, one of the guest "Jeopardy" hosts over the last year along with Rodgers, hosted the popular "Reading Rainbow" on PBS across 21 seasons beginning in 1983.

Hawk asked Rodgers if all this reading talk is shade at Burton for wanting the "Jeopardy" job.

"I'm a big 'Reading Rainbow' fan," Rodgers said

If I got the 'Reading Rainbow' job that could be cool, too

Rodgers said if he would come out before next week's "Monday Night Football" game against Detroit, he joked he "might have to wear some knee pads." That's a reference to new Lions coach Dan Campbell, who said at his first news conference in January that "we're gonna kick you in the teeth, and when you punch us back, we're going to smile at you

Rodgers might want to protect his kneecap in warm-ups but he also doesn't come out early much anymore because "I don’t feel like I need a lot of throws to get warm."

Hawk will likely bring up one more question about the Saints game to Rodgers next week

After Rodgers' interview ended, Hawk realized he wanted to ask Rodgers if he felt OK being replaced by Jordan Love with the game well out of reach
