While the Patriots put up a valiant fight in Sunday’s game against the Packers, Aaron Rodgers had the final moment, orchestrating a 77-yard drive capped by a 31-yard field from Mason Crosby to give Green Bay the 27–24 overtime win against New England.
However, beyond securing the close win, the four-time MVP shared a brief exchange with Patriots coach Bill Belichick ahead of Sunday’s game that “touched” him from a place of admiration.
“He [Bill Belichick] came over during pregame … as we started our throwing lines and we got to chat for 45 seconds or minute as it was really meaningful,” Rodgers said Tuesday, per The Pat McAfee Show. “It was no cameras around, no microphones … to have good conversation and share mutual respect and admiration was really cool.”
