Green Bay -- James Jones knows he ran a poor route and thus has no problem with Aaron Rodgers getting after him on the sideline.

By now, you've probably seen the footage of Rodgers criticizing Jones after throwing an interception in the Packers' 23-10 win over the Chicago Bears. On the play, Jones didn't flatten his route off sharp enough, leading to the pick. The two have talked about it since.

"Me and A-Rod are way closer than that, man, to let something like that come in between us," Jones said "We’re out there trying to win the ball game. It was my fault. I gave him mixed signals. I mean, we’re all emotional out there. It’s common, man. We do a lot of head gestures and stuff like that, the camera may not just be on us. Me and him, we’re both competitive, we’re trying to win. It was my fault."

And, Jones adds, yelling at somebody isn't that much of a crime.



"I’m sure a lot of people here got kids, right?" Jones said to the group of reporters at his locker room. "Your kids do something wrong, you yell at them every once and a while. You tell them, ‘You can’t do that. Don’t go back by that outlet.’ You do it again, Daddy gonna pop you. That’s all it is. We’re a family out there. Sometimes we argue, sometimes that stuff is going to happen. Like I said, it was my fault, made a mistake, should’ve crossed his face. At that point in time, we’re trying to make a play. We’re struggling as an offense already, especially in these first two games. Frustration will kick in. But I love that dude, man. That ain’t going to change nothing."
