Aaron Rodgers was simply brilliant in the Green Bay Packers’ 43-34 win over Minnesota Vikings. The 36-year-old turned back the clock with a fine overall display to hand his team a win on opening weekend.

Rodgers completed 32 of his 44 attempted passes and threw for 360+ yards. He had four passing TDs against zero interceptions against NFC North rivals, Minnesota Vikings.

Here’s what the NFL veteran said about his experience playing inside an empty stadium last Sunday.

Aaron Rodgers talks about the Vikings season opener, coach Matt LaFleur and more

Aaron Rodgers made his first appearance of the season on The Pat McAfee Show yesterday. The two-time NFL MVP spoke about what it was like playing inside an empty US Bank Stadium in Minnesota and also about head coach Matt LaFleur.

Rodgers said, “Yeah, I think it’s a natural progression. I think it’s the fact that we had no crowd noise in Minnesota, didn’t hurt either because that’s a tough place to play. You know we opened up the stadium a few years ago, the first game there and it was electric.”

“A little different when you can hear everything that’s being said on the field compared to when you can’t hear anything from a guy, you know, a few feet from you. So it definitely gave us a little bit of advantage over some years past but I thought Matt had a really nice plan, I thought he got into a flow with the calls and when he got into a rhythm, we just kinda kept rolling,” Rodgers said on the show.

After a strong start to the season, the Packers will now play NFC North opponents Detroit Lions this Sunday. Following that, Matt LaFleur’s squad will go up against a strong New Orleans Saints outfit in Week Three. Rodgers will look to build some momentum as the Packers gear up for a tough run of fixtures in the coming months.
