There was naturally a lot made in the media about Aaron Rodgers facing the Green Bay Packers for the first time this past week. And, for Rodgers’ part, he generally downplayed it, as did Jordan Love. Rodgers mentioned that there was no “revenge” element to the game at all for him. Love mentioned it would be great to get the victory, but emphasized that there were only positive feelings between him and his former mentor.
And yet it did feel like there was some significance to the way the game played out on Sunday night.
The Packers got off to a characteristic slow start.
