Aaron Rodgers on changing the momentum

As per A-Rod, the team feels much different from a few weeks ago. When they were low on confidence and energy. Since then, he senses that the team is on the right path and all they need is ‘One Win’ to change the direction they are going in. “I feel like we just get one[win] and the whole moment of changes.” added Rodgers. His assessment was not solely based on their performance, but also on the week leading up to the game. The player said, “I thought we had a great week of practice. The energy in the pregame in the locker room was different. It felt like Packers again.”
