NFL star Aaron Rodgers and Green Bay Packers bounced back in the NFL with a thumping 14-12 win over Tampa Bay Buccaneers. A-Rod completed  27 of 35 passes for 255 yards. The 38-year-old finished with two touchdowns, one interception, and one sack. 

After the game, the experienced QB spoke about a host range of topics in a presser. The NFL titan played down the victory against future HOF-er Tom Brady. Instead, the superstar said there’s still time in the league. “That’s kind of a little bit stretching up. It is Week 3. Feels good for sure. It could be some tie-breaker stuff down the line when you beat a team like this but it’s just Week 3,” Rodgers said when asked if this win has any special significance to him.

Rodgers also referred to the win against Chicago Bears. “I think Bears won and Vikings won. So there are three, two, and one team in the NFC North. That’s the focus. But, big win for us,” he added. Last week, the NFL titan said the Bears’ defense bored him as they rode towards a 27-10 win. AR has a 24-5 record against the Bears.
