Wednesday, in fact, the Packers quarterback doubled down on it.
You didn’t think Aaron Rodgers would regret saying he owned the Bears, did you? Wednesday, the Packers quarterback doubled down on it. “I don’t know that you could question a whole lot of what I said,” Rodgers, who is 22-5 all-time against the Bears, told reporters Wednesday. “I’ve had a good record over the years against them. Won a lot of games at Soldier Field and at Lambeau Field. It’s been a great rivalry. I’m proud to be a part of it. We have gotten the better of them the last, I don’t know,27-28 times we’ve played them.” That’s an understatement. Per ESPN Stats and Info, RodgerUA60371A0499703BA433F56457878721.815 winning percentage against the Packers is the third-best by any quarterback with at least 25 starts against one team since 1950. “In order to trash talk, you have to have a lot of confidence in what you’ve accomplished and what you’re going to accomplish in the future,” Rodgers said. “At some point what I said will be used against me. That’s just part of it. I have no regrets for saying what I said.… The record kinda speaks for itself.… I don’t regret saying it at all.” Sunday night at Lambeau Field will mark the latest — and maybe last — chance for Rodgers to improve that mark. He hinted during the offseason that this could be his last season with the Packers. Even Wednesday, some of his comments about the rivalry had a hint of finality to it. “This rivalry was long before I got here, and long after I’m done playing,” he said.
