Just when a matchup between two of the NFL's best quarterbacks provided additional intrigue because of the disparate circumstances they face with their respective teams, a bombshell ruined the billing.
Aaron Rodgers is sidelined after being placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list, and an anticipatedshowdown against Patrick Mahomes will not materialize Sunday.
Nonetheless, the red-hot Green Bay Packers (7-1) will carry a seven-game winning streak against the uneven Kansas City Chiefs (4-4) at Kansas City, Mo.
Stating that "nobody is going to feel sorry for us," Packers coach Matt LaFleur would not reveal whether Rodgers was vaccinated but expressed confidence Green Bay had followed protocols established by the NFL.
