GREEN BAY, Wis. — Aaron Rodgers is about to face a Bill Belichick-coached team for just the third time in his 15 seasons as the Green Bay Packers' starting quarterback.
While the two haven't matched up very often, they gained plenty of respect for each other from afar. They'll meet again Sunday when the Packers host Belichick and the New England Patriots.
"Best coach in the history of the game, I think," Rodgers said.
The Packers (2-1) and Patriots (1-2) have split the two previous matchups Rodgers started. Rodgers threw for 368 yards and two touchdowns in a 26-21 home victory over the Patriots in 2014.
