Aaron Rodgers and Co. downed Bears 26-10 to get back to winning ways. The 38-year-old superstar is gearing up for an enormous battle next week. He is up against a super-fit Tom Brady. It promises excitement as two of the most experienced superstars compete for their teams. 

Bucs are coming with two straight wins. However, a few of their big stars are injured. This brings attention to the health status of A-Rod ahead of the clash. The Packers QB opened up about his fitness in The Pat McAfee Show. “Neck is definitely a little bit sore. Uh, body overall has some soreness, but feels pretty good two weeks into the thing. What I feel good about is I ran to the sidelines that one time for like seven yards. Big gainer. Win the down and wasn’t that tired,” Rodgers said. 

Aaron Rodgers talks about fitness

The NFL heavyweight said he is ready to take up more duties to test his limits. “A lot of times I sprint because you got to get the Pythagorean theorem. You better run just to get out of bounds. Sometimes I come out of the huddle and I’m like maybe bring a little heavy,” A-Rod added. 

Meanwhile, he spoke about the post-game effects on his body. “The more difficult I think is Mondays and Tuesdays. But maybe easier it is to get through a Wednesday or a Thursday or a Friday if you are a little banked up because maybe you just level up a little more than 100 percent or you are 100 percent during the season. Looks and feel like so,” the superstar said.
