Green Bay Packers’ Aaron Rodgers responds to his critics after a dominating victory against the Detriot Lions

After the opening fixture humiliation for the Packers, Aaron Rodgers came under widespread criticism. Criticisms ranged from him being past his prime to being too egotistical to not take a wage cut in the pre-season to help improve the team.

Responding to his critics from the Packers‘ 38-3 loss, Rodgers said, “I think we maybe tried to show that we cared a little bit more tonight… I just think people like to say a lot of bullshit, and it’s nice to come back in here after a game like that.”

Rodgers later explained how he is so used to criticisms that it doesn’t affect him anymore. “I think that there’s even more now than when I started playing. There’s so many overreactions that happen on a week-to-week basis. So it’s nice to come out, have a good performance and get the trolls off our back for at least a week.”
