“All the other teams in the NFC North, it seems like every single year, I think their fanbase and their teams feel like, ‘This year is our turn to win the North.’ Hasn’t really been the case during my time, for the most part.”
This is a quote from Aaron Rodgers in the locker room on Wednesday afternoon.
This is a classic Rodgers sound byte. The subtle dig and smugness, no doubt delivered with a wry smile. The kind of thing that gives Packer fans glee and drives opposing divisional fans nuts.
Because it’s true.
Once again, the Green Bay Packers open a regular season with the division being essentially theirs to lose.
