Aaron Rodgers makes Heroic Comeback despite Injury; Leads Packers to Victory American Football

Green Bay Packers Quarterback Aaron Rodgers made a heroic comeback in the second quarter against Chicago Bears in a season-opening game to lead the team to a 24-23 victory.

 

The greatest quarterback of his generation picked an injury in the first half and was suspected to go on a long treatment period however he went on to throw three touchdowns and tied the largest comeback in his NFL career.

 

 

"Aaron Rodgers was remarkable. I just can't tell you how proud I am with him."

Mike McCarthy, Green Bay coach said.

Aaron Rodgers was seen in difficulty after Bears defensive end Roy Robertson-Harris fell on his left knee after a second-quarter sack. Despite the discomfort on the leg, he stood and tried to walk putting weight on his left leg and then crumbled to the ground.

The Suoer Bowl MVP had a short treatment on the sideline and was taken to the locker room by the medical staff.

"It was painful."

"I felt like once I got back out there when the adrenaline was going, it loosened up a little bit. But then it tightened up there in the fourth quarter. I was walking up and down the sideline trying to keep it loose. We'll do tests [Monday], and you'll get a better answer Wednesday when I talk."

Rodgers said. 

He is scheduled to go on additional tests on Monday but told that he would be playing "as long as there are no major issues.
