Roquan Smith Primed To Face ‘Angry’ Aaron Rodgers
Linebacker Roquan Smith is one of the few members of the Chicago Bears with experience of never beating the Packers.
Chicago hasn’t been Green Bay in six consecutive matches dating back to 2018. Roquan Smith is 1 – 7 against the Packers in his career.
With new head coach Matt Eferblus and a fresh roster, Chicago perhaps has a chance to lay the rivalry to rest.
The Bears unexpectedly won against the 49ers in Week 1, while Green Bay lost to the Vikings. It’s either the ideal time to catch them while they’re low, or the worst time to play them while they’re angry.

“The guy is one of the greatest to ever play the game, and as a competitor myself, I love going against people like that,” Smith said, via the Chicago Sun-Times. “I’m sure he’ll be a little bit [angry] after this last game.
“Hey, you wouldn’t want it any other way — get the best version of him, then we get the dub, and it will be even sweeter.”
