Week 17 of the NFL season just got that much more interesting, with reports surfacing that Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will start this Sunday against the Chicago Bears. This comes after Rodgers missed a good portion of the season, breaking his collarbone against the same Bears team in the first meeting on November 4.
Until today, it was up in the air whether or not Rodgers would suit up, but with the division and a playoff spot on the line, he is going to trot out there to help his team the only way he can. The Packers went 5-3 with Rodgers in the lineup this year, and 2-4-1 while he was injured.
The news comes at a bad time for the Bears, who boast one of the worst defenses in the league. Regardless, it’s a NFC North rivalry game with everything on the line, so you can surely expect it to be a wild ride. Are the Pack back?
