The moment was as revealing as it was ridiculous. A full, literal ton of Packers were celebrating yet another touchdown against the Atlanta Falcons on Monday night, stomping the last of Atlanta’s 2020 hopes into the Lambeau Field turf. And then, from the distance, came Aaron Rodgers, looking like someone’s little brother, flexing on camera long after the cool kids had moved on.
Nobody missed the irony. Rodgers is no one’s tagalong. He’s the engine of the Packers’ offense, the reason they’ve found the end zone more times than anyone outside Seattle this year.
