Rodgers entered his 22nd NFL season with a 13-6 record in Thursday Night Football games, and his stats heading into his age-43 season show a slight decline in completion rate, yards per attempt, and passer rating. Despite this, Rodgers remains on track to become the all-time leader in career interception percentage and sacks taken. His career has been marked by success, including four NFL MVP awards and a Super Bowl MVP, while playing for the Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers.",
