  • Aaron Rodgers owns the Chicago Bears.

  • At least, that’s what he told Bears fans after scoring the game-sealing touchdown on Sunday.

  • With a 22-5 career record against the Bears, he’s not wrong.

The Green Bay Packers may be the only publicly owned team in football, but quarterback Aaron Rodgers is diversifying his investments.

With just over four minutes left in Sunday’s game against the Chicago Bears, Rodgers scrambled for a six-yard rushing touchdown to put the Packers ahead 24-14, all but sealing the win for visiting Green Bay.

As boos rained down from the Chicago crowd, Rodgers jeered in response, which was caught on camera by the broadcast.

“All my f—ing life, I own you,” Rodgers shouted as his teammates surrounded him in the end zone. “I still own you. I still own you.”

After the game, Rodgers joked about his comment.

“Sometimes you

Week 3 of the NFL season was filled with action.

Ravens kicker Justin Tucker was the big winner of the weekend, setting an NFL record with a game-winning 66-yard field goal to beat the Detroit Lions and further his case as the greatest kicker of all time.

Meanwhile, Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy was a big loser. Take a look below at all the winners and losers from Week 3 of the NFL season.

WINNER: Justin Tucker

The New Orleans Saints and Green Bay Packers will face off in Week 1 of this year’s NFL regular season. And weeks before that kickoff, the team’s two quarterbacks are already competing.

Earlier this month, Packers QB Aaron Rodgers wowed fans with an incredible training camp throw — launching the ball deep downfield into a small net.

Today, Saints QB Jameis Winston one-upped that feat. From a similar distance, the former Pro Bowl quarterback perfectly dropped in two passes right behind a soccer goal.

Here are some clips of each training camp performance:

While Winston may have had the last laugh, he still has far more to prove than Rodgers.

The former backup to Drew Brees is currently locked in an intense QB battle with fellow signal caller Taysom Hill. And while Winston posted a slightly better preseason performance earlier this

Winners, losers of Aaron Rodgers’ return to the Green Bay Packers

By Elsie A. Dotson 3 months ago

After months of rampant speculation, linguistic parsing and high-stakes drama with the potential to significantly alter the 2021 NFL season and beyond, Aaron Rodgers is right back where he’s been for the past 16 summers – in Green Bay Packers training camp.

Given what the three-time MVP means to the organization – and Pack brass had made it publicly clear Rodgers wasn’t going anywhere – this always easily seemed like the most likely outcome. Yet the club’s “complicated fella” also rattled his bosses’ cages – along with an entire fan base – while expressing his desire for some environmental alterations.

While careful to say “I’m not a victim here” Wednesday, Rodgers indicated that his situation, financial and otherwise, has not changed significantly. This is to be his second season playing under a four-year, $134 million extension which has no guarantees in 2022 or ’23. He wants to be used as
