Russell Wilson drew praise for his response to a perceived jab from Aaron Rodgers from an unlikely source: Rodgers’ brother.

Jordan Rodgers took to Twitter to applaud Wilson for taking the high road. The tweets have since been deleted, but screenshots are below:

Wilson was asked Thursday for his take on Aaron Rodgers’ postgame comments last week in which Rodgers noted that God was a Packers fan and took care of Green Bay during its Week 2 victory.

"I know for me, I'm just grateful that God has given me the opportunity to play the great game of football," Wilson said. "I'm so grateful. I know that one of the things my parents always taught me is just continue to remain humble in your victories and your losses. And I think that's just the thing that I'm grateful for, just to be able to play the game of football. I love it. Like I said, everybody's entitled to their own opinion."

Eight months earlier, after the Seahawks beat the Packers in the NFC Championship Game -- an outcome that Wilson credited to God -- Rodgers said on his ESPN Milwaukee radio show that he did not think God is a big football fan.

"I don't think God cares a whole lot about the outcome," he said. "He cares about the people involved, but I don't think he's a big football fan."

Those remarks came days after Wilson said God set up the Seahawks' dramatic comeback win in overtime. Wilson then reiterated his stance during media day at the Super Bowl.

"I think God cares about football," Wilson said then. "I think God cares about everything he created."
