Aaron Rodgers made a startling revelation about Malachi Corley’s blunder.

Thursday night, Corley ran toward the end zone but dropped the ball in celebration before crossing the goal line for what would have been the first score of the game — and of his career.

In his weekly appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show,” Rodgers addressed the error, saying the team was warned by the coaching staff about a recent similar play involving Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts.

“You never know what you’re going to see in a game. I will say, we get a little analysis talk every week about the entire league, time management, clock management, things to do/things not to do, presentation from our man Smash (situational coordinator Dan Shamash) and he showed Kyle Pitts’ game – which I think was last week,” Rodgers said.

“So it’s definitely on his radar. Great play call. Great performance. The one thing I would say to Malachi, and I said this on the sidelines, is, ‘Why would you ever drop the ball? That was your first touchdown! You celebrate with that thing, you run to the sideline with that thing, and you hand it to (an equipment worker) and say this is mine. ”

Pitts was on his way to an easy touchdown against the Buccaneers last week when he slowed down and Tampa Bay safety Antoine Winfield Jr. gave him the opportunity to knock the ball out of his hand.

The ruling of a touchdown in that case stood because there was barely enough evidence to overturn it.

Rodgers got a laugh out of it as the Jets had a torrid second half, beating the Texans 21-13.

“But listen, he was excited. It was a play that took place. It sucks. It’s disappointing. No one feels worse than him, but it’s kind of crazy,” Rodgers said.

“I got made fun of because I said to Tae (Davantae Adams) and Garrett (Wilson), ‘You guys score these touchdowns and hold the ball up before you get to the end zone, I think I’m an old white man. But can we please walk through the middle of the letters?

“You’re not exactly setting a good example for these guys holding up that damn ball.”
