“When I step on the field, I expect greatness,” said Rodgers after his dominant display. “Anyone who’s a great competitor feels the same way. I don’t lean on excuses: not practicing, a little toe injury.” Rodgers, who suffered the injury during quarantine with COVID-19, added: “It definitely isn’t the ideal situation not to practice. But if I can go out there, take mental reps, go through the plan and my preparation and feel good about what I’m doing, and when I get out there, I’ve just got to rely on my instincts.”
