The Green Bay Packers will play their Week 1 game against the New Orleans Saints in Jacksonville, reportedly in part due to Aaron Rodgers. That appears to be fine with him.
The Saints were forced to relocate the game from New Orleans due to the impacts of Hurricane Ida. They chose Jacksonville instead, supposedly in part because Rodgers has an underwhelming 3-4 career record in games played in Florida.
This was put to Rodgers Wednesday by a reporter, and unsurprisingly, the Packers quarterback had a pretty blunt response.
If anything, Rodgers knowing the reason may motivate him even more to dispel the narrative. The quarterback already has a ton of reasons to want to put up huge numbers in 2021. He probably doesn’t need more.
