Packers 2021 Recap

Aaron Rodgers made the 2020 offseason as entertaining as possible by threatening to refuse to play for the Packers. The reigning MVP was reportedly at odds with his franchise, and things had gotten so bad that he was considering retirement. It wasn’t until the start of training camp that the public knew Rodgers would indeed return to Green Bay, possibly for the last time. One vaccine-based (immunization-based?) media circus, a second MVP, 37 touchdowns, and 18 weeks later, the Packers had coasted to the playoffs with a first-round bye in hand. Rodgers tossed 37 touchdowns and seven interceptions while rushing for another three scores. Davante Adams followed up his incredible 2020 season with an encore that featured 1,553 yards and 11 scores. Green Bay looked unstoppable heading into the postseason but the 49ers begged to differ. They held Rodgers and company to 10 points, removing them from the playoff picture after just one game.
