It's been a sub-par season for the Packers, but at least one thing remained constant in 2022: Aaron Rodgers still owns the Bears.And he won't let the Bears <a href="https://www.shophornetsedge.com/brooklyn-nets-jeresy/derrick-coleman-jersey">Derrick Coleman Jersey</a> (or its fans) forget it.The Packers signal-caller added another chapter of misery for the Bears in their Week 13 meeting on Sunday, completing 18 of 31 pa ses for 182 yards and a touchdown.To cap it all off, Green Bay outscored Chicago 18-0 in the fourth quarter.Rodgers completed a succe sful 2-point conversion to Marcedes Lewis with 1:01 left to play, making the score 28-19 in favor of the visiting team, putting the game out of reach. Following the succe sful conversion, Rodgers gave a little nonverbal jab to the home crowd, saluting the Bears faithful at Soldier Field:Aaron Rodgers salutes the Bears crowd : (@sportingnews) "Theres probably a lot of people who felt good at 19-10 so did I," Aaron Rodgers said postgame.MORE: Of course, Rodgers has a notable history of mutual dislike with the Bears. In last year's home <a href="https://www.shophornetsedge.com/brooklyn-nets-jeresy/julius-erving-jersey">Julius Erving Jersey</a> game vs. Chicago, Rodgers offered a pointed reminder to Bears fans who braved the trip to Lambeau Field:"I still own you!" he yelled at Bears fans. "I still own you!"BAD MAN. : on FOX: NFL app NFL (@NFL) That didn't change this season, as the Packers advanced to 2-0 over the Bears with scores of 27-10 in Week 2 and 28-19 in Week <a href="https://www.shophornetsedge.com/brooklyn-nets-jeresy/caris-levert-jersey">Caris LeVert Jersey</a> 13. With that, Rodgers' record vs. his NFC North rivals improved to 24-5 for his career.Additionally, this win had historical significance tied to it.The win gives the Packers the all-time lead in wins with 787.This is the 1st time since 1921 the Bears did not own at least a share of the all-time wins lead. The Packers are the first team other than the Bears to own the outright lead since the Buffalo All-Americans (18 wins) Rob Demovsky (@RobDemovsky) "Weve had a tremendous amount of succe s during my time against them," Rodgers said. "Ive enjoyed playing here, theres a lot of memories here. Its been a special rivalry that Ive been able to be apart of."Also important, Green Bay improved to 5-8 on the season while dropping Chicago to 3-10.Unfortunately, the win is unlikely to <a href="https://www.shophornetsedge.com/brooklyn-nets-jeresy/jason-kidd-jersey">Jason Kidd Jersey</a> do much for Green Bay's playoff hopes at 5-8, barring a four-game win streak to end the season and significant help from wild-card teams ahead of Green Bay in the NFC playoffs race (the Vikings have all but clinched the NFC North title).Even if there was little more than bragging rights on the line for Rodgers between the Bears, it's clear that still meant a lot to him. It also gave Chicago even more hate fuel for the deservedly cocky Packers quarterback."Its part of the legacy," Rodgers said."You always want to leave the place youre at better than the <a href="https://www.shophornetsedge.com/brooklyn-nets-jeresy/jeff-green-jersey">Jeff Green Jersey</a> way you found it." |
