Aaron Rodgers Made Packers Comeback On One Day’s Preparation

Aaron Rodgers helped the Packers get back to winning ways despite not being able to prepare with the team.

After a Covid-enforeced absence, Green Bay’s quarterback returned to lead the team to a 17-0 win over the Seattle Seahawks.

Aaron Rodgers had to be isolated from the team for ten days and was only activated on Saturday. He completed 23-of-37 passes for 292 yards with no touchdowns and an interception.

“Not ideal, for sure,” Aaron Rodgers said. “Being on Zoom all week.”

“The best thing for me to be prepared is to be able to repeat the plays in practice and then the walk-throughs — you’re hearing them two, three or four times and it becomes kind of second nature’ you can almost finish the sentence from Matt [LaFleur]. 

“Today, like I told pregame, it was going to be more Ron Burgundy-ish — where sometimes I just gotta repeat exactly what is being said verbatim. Kind of feel my way through some of the plan. But I felt Matt did a nice job of limiting the long play-calls early in the game. There was a lot of running plays and not a lot of cans or adjustments on them, so I think that made me settle in a little bit. But yeah — not ideal for sure. It will be nice to go through a full week next week.”

“You know I just don’t take these things for granted,” he said. 

“Walking off the field, as a winner, it was fun beating that squad — we’ve had some battles over the years — but just walking out with Preston [Smith], who I have so much love and appreciation for. And then hearing that type of response from the crowd was a little extra special tonight.”
