Aaron Rodgers Bounces Back From Injury, helps Packers with a comeback win

In a amazing turn of events,  Aaron Rogers returned back to gameplay from a early first half injury to lead the Packers back from a 20-point deficit against the Chicago Bears. The 13 year vet’s season seemed to be in a downfall after  an early game injury, but in a spectacular fashion, Roger’s Throws three touchdowns to tie the largest comeback in his NFL career. A Touchdown caught by wide receiver Randall Cobb gave green bay the lead with a remaining 2:13. Mike McCarthy also seemed to be amazed about rogers game winning plays by saying “Aaron Rodgers was remarkable. I just can’t tell you how proud I am with him “.

The injury occurred in the first half when Bears defensive end Roy Robertson-Harris seemed to fall on his left knee after a second-quarter sack. Rogers Tried to put some weight on it, but ended up falling to the ground. Luckily no assistance was needed to get him off the field as he walked off on his own. Nearly 10 minutes in the sideline examination tent, the team’s medical staff walked Rodgers to the locker room midway through the second quarter.

“It was painful,” Rodgers said

In high school, Rogers had an injury in the same knee & didn’t get surgery until college. Rogers said ” As long as there is no major issues, I’ll Play ” but he will get additional test come Monday. Packers home opener was off to a rough enough start before Rodgers’ injury, the offense was booed off the field just two minutes into the second quarter after a third straight punt. Rodgers was 3-of-7 passing for 13 yards and sacked twice before leaving the game. He was 17-of-23 passing for 273 yards with three touchdowns after he returned. DeShone Kizer, who went 0-15 as a rookie last season, replaced Rodgers with the Packers trailing 10-0. Bears defender Khalil Mack made it very difficult for Kizer due to the strip-sack and also ripped the ball out his hands. A picked off  screen pass by Mack helped the bears get a 27 yard touchdown that gave the bears a 17-0 lead.

The Packers traded Rodgers’ backup last season, Brett Hundley, to the Seattle Seahawks last month for a sixth-round pick. Hundley started nine games last season after Rodgers broke his right collarbone. It was 20-0 when he returned. The win tied the biggest comeback of Rodgers career, according to ESPN Stats & Information data. Late last month, Rodgers signed a record four-year, $134 million contract extension.
