The Lions are still savoring Sunday’s stunning win over the Packers, and no one seems more thrilled about besting Aaron Rodgers than Aidan Hutchinson’s mom, Melissa.

On Tuesday, the Hutchinson family matriarch reflected on her family’s “winning weekend,” which included a gold-medal victory for daughter Mia in a martial arts tournament, and son Aidan’s first career interception in Detroit’s 15-9 victory against Green Bay.

“A winning weekend of gold and cold moves,” Melissa wrote on Instagram. “…even Aaron rodgers was smiling 😏.”

Hutchinson, the second overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, picked off Rodgers in the end zone in the first half of Sunday’s game. In the post shared by Melissa, the Packers quarterback can be seen smiling beside the rookie defensive end.

In his postgame press conference, Rodgers appeared to take a shot at the Packers’ division rival as Green Bay dropped its fifth straight game, bringing their record to 3-6.

“Can’t lose a game like that against that team, though, so that’s going to hurt for a while,” Rodgers said.

Rodgers, the league’s reigning MVP, threw three interceptions in the Week 9 defeat, two of which were in the end zone. Through nine games this season, he has recorded 14 touchdowns against seven interceptions.

Days after the loss, Rodgers railed against “armchair quarterbacks” during an appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show.”

“I’ve thrown touchdown passes many times, I don’t give a s–t what any of these experts on TV have to say,” Rodgers said.

“There’s a lot that goes into all these things, and for somebody to play armchair quarterback who doesn’t know what the hell play we’re running or what’s going on, that’s fine, I don’t really give a s–t, to be honest with you.”

With the Packers set to host the Cowboys on Sunday, followed by a primetime matchup against the Titans on “Thursday Night Football,” Rodgers may once again be hearing from those so-called “armchair quarterbacks” if Green Bay continues to dig itself into a hole.
