Matt LaFleur’s Green Bay Packers suffered their first loss of the ongoing 2020 NFL season. The Wisconsin-based outfit were humbled by the Tom Brady-led Tampa Bay Buccaneers by a 38-10 scoreline at the Raymond James Stadium last weekend.
Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers had a difficult day at the office, having put in a sub-par display in Week 6. Rodgers failed to score a single passing TD for the first time this season and also threw two interceptions in the first half itself.
He threw for 160+ yards and was sacked on four occasions, twice by long-time rival Ndamukong Suh. Despite that setback, a certain Green Bay Packers player still believes that Aaron Rodgers is superior to the other quarterbacks in the league.

Packers tight end, Marcedes Lewis, claims teammate Aaron Rodgers is one of the ‘greatest’ quarterbacks to ever play in the NFL.
He said, “If you meet somebody that has respect and a genuine appreciation for somebody that’s doing it the right way … it really wasn’t hard.
“I think that’s what drew us together in that same way, I think the world of him. I think arguably, the best to ever play the game and I want to see him continue to win and I want to be there to help him win another championship.”
The 36-year-old also spoke about the upcoming game against Houston Texans in Week Seven. “It’s hard to win in this league. I’ve learned that firsthand.
“Our attitude, our morale is up. That locker room is as vibrational as it can be. And we got started off on the right foot (Wednesday), we’ve got to continue the preparation, and lead us right into Sunday,” Lewis added.

In response to Lewis’ kind words, Rodgers also singled out the veteran tight end for special recognition. The 2-time NFL MVP also went on to call Lewis one of his ‘favorite teammates’ at Green Bay.
“It’s been a lot of fun getting know him on a more personal level and become really good friends with him. He’s a really interesting guy.
“He has a lot of wisdom and insight. He’s just definitely one of my favorite teammates that we’ve ever had around here. He’s a fantastic leader.”
