Record against Chicago

Aaron Rodgers has some insane stats against the Bears. Over the years, the Chicago-based franchise has become his favorite team to beat. The QB has started 29 games for the Packers against their fierce division rivals. Overwhelmingly so, it has been A-Rod who can come out on top.

Rodgers has won a whopping 24 games in total against the team from Chicago in his career. And in one of the five losses, he went off with an injury in the first quarter itself. He has a total of 611 completions with a 67.3% pass completion rate. The Packers QB has scored 64 passing touchdowns and just 10 interceptions. In fact, the athlete hasn’t thrown an interception against the Bears since his last loss to the team in December 2018.

With such a record, it is understandable why the Chicago fans don’t like Rodgers. And he keeps on piling up the numbers, adding to their fury.
