While the 38-year-old player took the walk in front of the media. He opened up about the sentiments behind their poor run. After being dealt their 4th consecutive loss and 5th of the season. Rodgers was not as pessimistic as one would think. In addition to a sloppy passing game, the team also racked up a lot of penalties at the wrong time. However, the quarterback did not make any excuses and got straight to the point. “Nobody feels sorry for us,” said Rodgers.

Aaron Rodgers on changing the momentum

As per A-Rod, the team feels much different from a few weeks ago. When they were low on confidence and energy. Since then, he senses that the team is on the right path and all they need is ‘One Win’ to change the direction they are going in. “I feel like we just get one[win] and the whole moment of changes.” added Rodgers. His assessment was not solely based on their performance, but also on the week leading up to the game. The player said, “I thought we had a great week of practice. The energy in the pregame in the locker room was different. It felt like Packers again.”
