NY Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers and wide receiver Garrett Wilson are addressing their sideline incident during practice.

On Tuesday, a social media video showed Rodgers and Wilson yelling and arguing on the sideline during a break.

While speaking to the media, Rodgers believed the heated conversation with Wilson was a “good” one for their chemistry.

“He’s got to get on my page, but I have to get on his page, too, because he’s got a whole book that I need to understand fully — skill set and ability and feel and rhythm and all the different things that he does out there,” Rodgers said after practice. “So those are good conversations. They might appear to be much more heated than they are, but there’s usually a smile on our face afterwards — at least one of us.”

Wilson echoed Rodgers’ sentiment and believed the conversation would make them a better duo on the field.

“It’s truly enlightening for me every time we have problems like that, despite how it may look, just because I am an emotional, passionate guy,” Wilson said. “So, when we lose, I might look a certain way, but in reality, all those conversations, those things are helping me be better for Aaron because he can make your life real easy. So, for me, it’s my job to be on my details and he’s been on me about those details.”
