Aaron Rodgers, in vintage form, takes shots at Saints on the field and the NFL off it
In contrast — of course — to the usual narrative that the NFL has too many international games, Rodgers endorsed the overseas slate, and wished the NFL would have gone further to push American football into international markets.
Aaron Rodgers continues to display flashes of his former self, making significant contributions to his team's playoff aspirations. On Sunday, he delivered a remarkable 51-yard pass to DeAndre Hopkins, showcasing his still impressive skill set. This throw came during Pittsburgh's 16-10 victory over the Saints in France, a game marked by its lackluster appeal.
Rodgers' rushing yards were limited to just 8, highlighting his age and decline in physical abilities. Despite this, he remained a key playmaker, icing the game with a daring late fourth-quarter scramble. In terms of career accomplishments, Rodgers recently reached a milestone - his 540th career passing touchdown, surpassing both Peyton Manning and setting himself ahead of Drew Brees and Tom Brady.
Off the field, Rodgers has been vocal about his discontent with the NFL's international game strategy, advocating for more NFL teams to play in international destinations. He believes this would promote American football's growth worldwide, despite the league's focus on increasing the number of regular-season games for financial gain.
