Aaron Rodgers mentioned, “Yeah, I mean, it has over the years, so you definitely draw a lot of confidence and good memories off of this matchup. We’ve had a tremendous amount of success during my time against them. I’ve enjoyed playing here, there’s a lot of memories here. It’s been a special rivalry that I’ve been able to be a part of. Obviously, we won the FC Championship here and hit Cobby 13 on a big play and Jordy 16 on a big play. It’s been a special rivalry that I’ve been able to be a part of, and there were probably a lot of people that felt good at 19-10. So did I.”

Aaron Rodgers’ beef with the Bears goes back to when the QB1 scrambled for a score against the Bears. He yelled ‘I still own you’ to the Bears fans on Soldier Field.
