Vikings CB Isaiah Rodgers Admits Eagles Fans’ Online Attacks Left Him Stressed, Sends Six-Word Warning to Jalen Hurts
Minnesota Vikings cornerback Isaiah Rodgers has broken his silence after becoming the target of intense online harassment from some Eagles fans following the team’s 35-22 loss to Philadelphia in Week 7.
Rodgers revealed that his social media inbox was flooded with hate messages after he was blamed for several big plays during the game. One message that went viral read, “You’re worse than Hitler,” comparing him to the infamous dictator — something Rodgers described as “disgusting and deeply personal.”
The veteran cornerback, who previously spent two seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles and even won a Super Bowl with them, admitted that the backlash “took a toll” on him.
“It’s been tough, man. I get that fans are emotional, but when it turns into hate, that’s different. I gave everything when I was in Philly, and I still respect that city,” Rodgers said.
Rodgers later shared screenshots of the messages on Instagram, calling out the hate and encouraging fans to “do better.” The post has since been deleted, but he followed it with a subtle six-word warning to Jalen Hurts, saying:
“Next time, keep your head up.”
That cryptic comment quickly went viral among both fanbases, sparking speculation about whether it was a competitive jab or a message of respect toward his former teammate.
Despite the storm, Rodgers maintained accountability for the Vikings’ struggles:
“I put it on me. Every play, every mistake — I own it. But I’m not gonna let hate win. I’ll bounce back stronger.”
The Vikings corner ended by saying he’s channeling the negativity into motivation ahead of their next game:
“You can call me whatever you want, but I’m still gonna line up and fight.”
It’s a tense time for Minnesota, but for Rodgers, the message is clear — he’s done talking, and ready to prove it on the field.
