Rewriting the Aaron Rodgers narrative, according to his backup center

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Lucas Patrick tried to play it cool when his fiancée, Annie, got excited about what Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said about him after Sunday’s win over the Dallas Cowboys.

"She was like, ‘Oh my gosh, that’s so nice,’" Patrick said.

Just minutes earlier, Rodgers stood in the interview room at AT&T Stadium and shared a story from this summer about Patrick, who was once again fighting for a spot on the 53-man roster. Patrick, of course, continued his unlikely career -- he came to the Packers as an undrafted, unsigned rookie on a tryout basis in 2016 -- and then Sunday was forced into action when center Corey Linsley's streak of 2,768 consecutive snaps came to an end 19 plays into the game.
