GREEN BAY, Wis. – Aaron Rodgers enjoyed his walk off Lambeau Field on Sunday night. Having dispatched the rival Chicago Bears yet again, there was plenty of reason to smile for the surging MVP.

Instead, Rodgers walked off the field. The broken pinky toe that he’s been battling since his comeback from COVID-19 a month ago took a turn for the worse.

“It feels worse,” Rodgers said. “I don’t know what kind of setback that I had tonight but we’ll look at it tomorrow. Definitely took a step back tonight.”

Rodgers, who delivered his seventh career game against Chicago with four-plus touchdowns and zero interceptions, said surgery would be a “last resort.” There are minor procedures, he’s said, that would allow him to not miss a game.

Love running MLF's offense 100% of the time is better than Rodgers running it 50% of the time.

Dude just needs to get up to speed.
