The Packers made a successful retreat after a gnarly loss at the hands of the Vikings. The Week 2 game at Lambeau Field saw one of the NFL’s biggest rivalries in action. Aaron Rodgers and the Pack successfully ran over the Bears. The quarterback owns the franchise, and the classic rivalry tale lives on. However, it looks like A-Rod was not that happy over his productivity in the battle.

The Green Bay quarterback sat down with the media after they won the game. It was the Packers’ 14th straight win at Lambeau Field. During the press conference, he hailed Aaron Jones’ performance. It wasn’t as perfect, but it was considerable progress from the season opener loss. He then mentioned some flaws he had during their plays.

Aaron Rodgers is not happy despite owning the Bears

Aaron Rodgers mentioned, “The second half was frustrating, but it’s tough to win this league, so I’m very happy. We expected to win this game, so I’m not surprised about what happened. I felt like we had a good week of practice and if we just played our game, this was the type of outcome that could happen. But I’m disappointed in the second half. I, you know, screwed up the action on that fumble with AJ, and then Josh, you know, had to brain fart and snapped it on one instead of two, and that kind of killed the momentum.”
