Aaron Rodgers

Aaron Rodgers has been with the Packers for 17 seasons, being the starting quarterback since 2008. He recently signed a three year contract extension over the summer. The question is, how much longer will fans see him play in a Packers uniform? With the new offensive pieces in rookie wide receiver Christian Watson and rookie receiver Romeo Doubs, Rodgers might find motivation in sticking with Green Bay for the long haul. Rodgers May Have Desire to Play Long Term In a press conference with reporters after practice, he left the door open for that possibility when asked about how much…

For 57 years, Lambeau Field has been the Green Bay Packers stadium name. But could a name change be in store?

Through the first four weeks of the season, the Packers have been able to find ways to win games going 3-1. However, there have been many bumps along the road with execution from players and the coaching staff.

In two of the last three games, the Packers defense allowed 180 rushing yards to the Chicago Bears and 167 yards…

The bright lights of “Sunday Night Football” brought the best out in Greenbay. There was a lot of good to take away from the Packers’ win over the Chicago Bears.

Aaron Rodgers Still Owns the Bears

Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is 23-5 in his career against the Chicago Bears. That record includes a victory in the 2010 NFC Championship game at Soldier Field. He has had his fair share of fun moments against them, throwing 61 touchdowns and only 10 interceptions in regular season games.
