The Green Bay Packers celebrated a win against division rival Chicago Bears in week one. Former Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers congratulated his successor Jordan Love in a special way

During his 18 years in Green Bay, ex-Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers usually had reason to celebrate against the Chicago Bears. Again and again, the Cheeseheads celebrated victories. Once A-Rod shouted in the direction of the Bears fans: “I own you” – “You belong to me.”

And even now that the 39-year-old has left the Packers and joined the New York Jets, he won’t let his longtime division rival forget it.

So Rodgers now told “The Pat McAfee Show” that he texted Packers quarterback Jordan Love after Green Bay beat the Bears 38-20 in week one.

“I sent J a message right after the game was over because I wanted him to see my message when he got his phone in his hand again,” Rodgers explained. “I said, ‘Congratulations on keeping possession.’ That was pretty great for him. “

Rodgers has a 24-5 record against the Bears, Love is now 1-0 as a starter.

In addition, the four-time NFL MVP commented on his healing process. According to the statement, his next goal is to be able to take off his special shoe in order to have the necessary strength to stand up on his own.

However, he seemed to back away from his original statements about not wanting to rule out a return for the playoffs. Rodgers suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon in week one.
