Aaron Rodgers mentioned, “Yeah, I mean, it has over the years, so you definitely draw a lot of confidence and good memories off of this matchup. We’ve had a tremendous amount of success during my time against them. I’ve enjoyed playing here, there’s a lot of memories here. It’s been a special rivalry that I’ve been able to be a part of. Obviously, we won the FC Championship here and hit Cobby 13 on a big play and Jordy 16 on a big play. It’s been a special rivalry that I’ve been able to be a part of, and there were probably a lot of people that felt good at 19-10. So did I.”

Aaron Rodgers’ beef with the Bears goes back to when the QB1 scrambled for a score against the Bears. He yelled ‘I still own you’ to the Bears fans on Soldier Field.

Aaron Rodgers is still fuming over the Packers’ HC

Aaron Rodgers may have won the game against the Bears. However, there was a disputable situation in the game. A.J. Dillon appeared to rush for a first down on Green Bay’s first possession of the second half. However, the officials ruled he was off the line.

A-Rod resisted the notion, believing he had moved on. However, Matt LaFleur did not see that. The head coach did not throw the challenge flag. Rodgers appeared to have his arms outstretched, yelling at the coach to throw the flag.

It looks like Rodgers’ frustration is brewing on the coaching front. It is yet to see if the anger cools down.
