For the Green Bay Packers, a lot was at stake on Sunday when they went against the Dallas Cowboys. Fortunately, they edged out the Cowboys and won the game. Thus, this is how Green Bay ended its plight. Even though it was a great comeback for the Aaron Rodgers-led clan, he was not particularly happy with the audience at the stadium.

The Lambeau Field was filled with Dallas fans. With few cheeseheads, the star QB must’ve felt morose. He was expecting an electrifying crowd that Tom Brady of the Bucs had the chance to witness in Germany. Tampa Tom couldn’t stop raving about how energetic the German audience was.

However, the 38-year-old Packers QB was not as lucky as his friend. He said, “I don’t feel like it was the most energetic crowd that we’ve had. There were definitely some huge momentum swings. The touchdown to Christian, I feel like, got the crowd back in it, the first one. The same when we hit that one on fourth down. I felt like, ‘Oh, maybe they believe a little bit as well.” Rodgers wanted to feel the much-needed “jolt” from his fans. After all, they are the biggest supporter and their viewership matters the most to any player.

Aaron Rodgers can finally take a deep breath! 

The Packers were beyond repair, but they stunned the crowd at Lambeau Field. The QB threw three TD passes to rookie WR, Christian Watson. Rodgers also led a 55-yard drive in overtime to Mason Crosby who scored a game-winning 28-yard field goal. Green Bay could end the curse of five games. They won by a score of 31-28 over America’s team.

Initially, it looked like the Green Bay Packers were on their way to losing their sixth game. However, in the fourth quarter, the Super Bowl-winning quarterback led two drives that resulted in throws for Watson for a touchdown.

A-Rod defeated his former coach, Mike McCarthy, whom he was excited to meet. Rodgers completed 20 passes out of which, 14 were successful. He averaged 11.2 yards per attempt, threw three touchdown passes, and had a passer rating of 146.7 overall. The reigning NFL MVP shined and was better compared to the previous five games. Even though the crowd could not cheer as loudly as he wanted them to, the cheeseheads will definitely not make their shot-caller upset.
