Aaron Rodgers is going to move on to the NFC Championship, but which year-old full-back will join him?
Rodgers and the top-seeded Green Bay Packers scored a convincing 32-18 victory over the Los Angeles Rams during the NFC Division Round on Saturday. Rodgers and the Packers are now hosting the winner of Tom Brady’s Buccaneers against Drew Brees’ Saints, which is scheduled for Sunday night.
While Rodgers admitted he was still in celebration mode after Saturday’s victory, he shared excitement about the next challenge.
‘To be honest, I still like this one. There is a lot of time to think about things. My initial reaction is that guys are great players. “It’s been a long time coming,” Rodgers told reporters.
“It will be, I do not know if it will be the oldest, but the combined age of the starting quarterback will definitely be there and will compete for the championship,” Rodgers continued. ‘I’m sure you guys will figure it out at some point and write something about it, but I’m just as happy for us guys, and definitely a little bit of emotional reflection on what we went through. I’m just very happy about everything that happened tonight. ”
Rodgers passed 23-for-36 for 296 yards with three touchdowns (two passes) in the win. This is the first time the Packers have hosted the NFC title game since 2007.
