It appears those who venture to MetLife Stadium on Sunday to watch a battle of eliminated teams play will be getting a special Christmas gift: Aaron Rodgers.
Despite the elimination of his Green Bay Packers, the star quarterback appears ready to start the Packers’ penultimate game against the New York Jets (1:00 p.m. ET, Fox). Green Bay was officially eliminated from contention with a 24-17 loss to the Chicago Bears last week.
Rodgers, often referred to as one of the game’s best quarterbacks, will miss the playoffs for the second straight season. Immediately after the Chicago loss, he was asked about his status for the last two games.
