Aaron Rodgers mentioned, “There’s overreactions negatively and positively. Every single game you play, and no offense, Tim, but you haven’t been the only one who’s talked about sustainability on certain ways of winning and playing. I think it’s all week to week it really is we try and find your identity throughout the season. A lot of that is kind of just jargon to keep the conversation going.”

“In fact, the most important identity is competitive greatness and going out there and playing your best when your best is needed. We haven’t played a four-quarter game all season. I felt like that was really close Sunday, really proud of the guys. The way we finished in the fourth quarter and then put together a good drive in overtime,” He added.

The Packers are coming off an OT Thriller with a massive win over the Cowboys. The franchise has something to be practical about as they enter their next game against the Tennessee Titans.

Aaron Rodgers feels the need for an all-grass pitch

Football stadiums with synthetic surfaces have often come under scrutiny over the injury scare. It has become a longstanding debate in the past few years. Aaron Rodgers believes it is high time for the NFL to dictate that all games need to be on actual grass substrates. However, the Packers QB1 is skeptical that it would occur.

As per FOX News, the Green Bay quarterback believes it is time for the NFL to go all grass. Rodgers believes there would be fewer non-contact injury woes on some floors. Furthermore, A-Rod believes that requiring all fields to be grass would be a great step toward player safety.
