The Packers went into Soldier Field to take on the Bears. Unlike any other rivalry, the game had great spots, and the fans in attendance were zealous. Aaron Rodgers addressed his delight in the post-game press conference. The QB1 revealed a personal element in the ultimate rivalry.
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.
