Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has said that he takes accountability for being "divisive" as a result of his vaccination status, despite never intending to be a polarizing figure.

The reigning NFL MVP reappeared on the "The Pat McAfee Show" on Tuesday to reflect on Saturday's divisional round playoff defeat to the San Francisco 49ers, a loss that brought a premature end to the 37-year-old's season and triggered immediate speculation about his future.

Arriving as the top seed, playing on home turf and led by a quarterback tipped by many to retain his MVP status for a second straight season, it was a surprise early exit for the Packers and Rodgers.
