Aaron Rodgers texted Packers quarterback Jordan Love after his Week 1 win against the Bears to congratulate him for keeping up what has become a tradition.
“I said congratulations on keeping the ownership in place,” Rodgers told ESPN’s “The Pat McAfee Show” on Friday. “That was pretty awesome for him.”
Rodgers, who went 25-5 against his rival, famously screamed at Bears fans and told them that he owned them in a 2021 win at Soldier Field.
“All my [bleeping] life, I own you,” Rodgers said as he looked into the Soldier Field stands. “I own you. I still own you.”
Rodgers returned to Soldier Field and won last season, giving the fans a military-style salute as he left the field.
Rodgers tore his Achilles tendon in his first game with the Jets — one day after he texted Love — and has vowed to heal quickly.
