The Green Bay Packers (4-7) are playing for their postseason lives on Sunday night when they visit the 9-1 Eagles (9-1) at Lincoln Financial Field. They’re also going to be faced with stopping future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers.
He’s someone Eagles’ defensive coordinator has a great familiarity with when Gannon was an assistant defensive backs coach with the Minnesota Vikings from 2014-17.
Even though Rodgers is not having “a Rodgers; type of season,” Gannon still holds great respect for the veteran.
“Part of it is because I played in the division with him for four years,” Gannon said, “so I think I’ve played him — been a part of teams that have played against Aaron Rodgers and Green Bay both with [Mike] McCarthy and [Matt] LaFleur a good amount.
