The Green Bay Packers defeated the Chicago Bears in the latest matchup in their storied rivalry, and Aaron Rodgers shared what it means. The Packers hosted the Bears and won 27-10 to improve to 1-1 on the season. With the win, Green Bay’s record against Chicago improved to 104-95-6 all-time — a fact that Rodgers was already aware of after the final whistle.

Aaron Rodgers on beating Chicago

After the game NBC’s Melissa Stark caught up with Rodgers and running back Aaron Jones on the field and asked Rodgers what makes wins over Chicago so special, referencing his famous “I still own you” declaration from his last victory over the Bears.

“I love history and there’s a long history of games between these two teams. You know, we’ve won 104 times against them.”

“Not that you’re counting,” joked Stark during his answer.

“No, I think everybody in Green Bay is counting for sure,” said Rodgers with a smile.

Rodgers has not only been at the helm of a Packers team that has won six straight games against the Bears, he has been exceptional in each game. Sunday’s win was the fifth time in a row that Rodgers finished with a passer rating over 125 against Chicago.

With Jones standing beside him, Stark asked Rodgers how they managed to get the run game going in the win — leading Rodgers to share some incredible praise for his teammate.

“He’s an absolute stud. He’s one of the toughest guys in the NFL. Dripping wet, about 185. Breaking tackles all over the place, elusive. And take all that away — he’s a hell of a guy. Great teammate, great person. Love having him on my team, love working with him.”

Finally, Rodgers was asked about their upcoming game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Tom Brady, as Green Bay travels to play them on the road next week. Rodgers admitted that they were seeking a win and that their last meeting ended in a loss that he remembers well.

“Hopefully a better performance than last time we were down there.”
