Green Bay -- A little while ago, quarterback Aaron Rodgers finished his weekly question-and-answer session with reporters in front of his locker.

He answered a wide variety of questions. Here's a sampling:

After the game, you said you made a concerted effort to get ball to Greg Jennings. How does that work in the framework of progressions and reads?
"We've kind of been helped out by the looks we've been getting the last couple weeks. But I think in general, just more checks, maybe, either in the huddle or at the line of scrimmage, built into the play often where we can single him up if he's getting one on one coverage. And you've seen the last couple weeks that we've really hurt the defense when they've tried to go one on one with Greg. Also we have a number of checks in our offense, in the red zone especially, where if we get a certain type of coverage and he's inside, we can check a route to give him the best opportunity to catch the ball. So that goes for just about any position, but for the most part the last couple of weeks, Greg's been in those positions where he can really catch the ball and make plays when he gets those opportunities."

Everybody's chasing the Falcons in the NFC, does that add any significance to this game?
"I think it does. I've played in this league long enough to realize you don't really need to start talking about the postseason until December football. But if you take a step back and realize we've got six games left, these guys are a game ahead of us, and the other teams that are chasing them. You don't really want to fall two games plus a tiebreaker behind the Falcons if you start thinking about home field advantage in the playoffs, should we be fortunate enough to get there. But it's a big game for us. We know how well Matt plays down there, his record. Coach Smith has done a great job with that team. It's going to be a tough game for us, tough environment. I think that we've proven under coach McCarthy what kind of road team we can be."

Now that it's over, are you proud of the way you handled yourself during the Brett Favre circus?
"I am, yeah, I am. I think that was often a lot more difficult than the actual playing, was to practice proper leadership daily. Thats something you have on some level. You can also work on that as a skill. Thats something I knew was going to be very important to how I was viewed as a person, leader and player. Im proud of the fact that were on the other side of this. Its something no one is really talking about as much going forward and Im proud of the way it played out and was true to my character.

Theres a picture surfacing around that shows you smirking at Favre as you walk away from the hug with him after the game. What was that about?
"That was Brett and I embraced and then he made a funny comment about James Campen as we were separating. And I looked back and smirked about his comment about James Campen and they froze it. You can put any tag you want underneath that picture (laughing). I can tell you exactly what happened. People are still going to read into that."

So you were reacting to what he said? "He made a funny comment about James Campen, who was, I guess, walking back. I looked back to see if James was back there and I had a smirk on my face. I wasnt smirking at anyone. Maybe James Campen."

Do you have plans for Thanksgiving?
"I do, yes. I go over to my neighbors house every year. Corn casserole. Cant wait."

We all know "the smirk" wasn't as vengeful as many of us wish it was, but good to hear what the explanation was for it.

Now I know what millionaire athletes have for Thanksgiving dinner: corn casserole. That would not have been my first guess.
