Aaron Rodgers Takes Yet Another Massive Shot At Chicago Bear ahead of Week 18 ‘Super Bowl’ vs. Packers
The Chicago Bears are no longer in playoff contention, but they can still have an impact on the field in Week 18. The Bears will travel to Lambeau Field to face the Green Bay Packers, where a win will keep their playoff hopes alive.
The Bears, like the Detroit Lions at the end of the 2022 season, would love nothing more than to play spoiler. Green Bay was in a similar situation last season, needing a win over their NFC North rivals in Week 18 to make the playoffs. They were, however, defeated by the Lions, who have carried that momentum into the 2023 season.
Aaron Rodgers spent his Tuesday on “The Pat McAfee Show,” airing his usual controversial opinions before taking aim at the Bears ahead of their Week 18 game against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field, with only rehab in New Jersey on his schedule here in the early parts of 2024.
“This is the Super Bowl for them. Is it a rivalry if they can’t beat us?” Rodgers said this week in reference to the Packers’ game against the Bears.
"This is their Super Bowl."
"If they can't beat us, is it a rivalry?"
