Aaron Rodgers’ 4-Word Lie Just Handed the NFC Championship Game to Tom Brady or Aaron Donald: ‘Yeah, I’ve Been Immunized’

After receiving an injection of the anti-inflammatory drug dexamethasone in his right arm, Aaron Rodgers told reporters that he was “fully vaccinated.” The Packers quarterback’s statement turned out to be false. Officials have since rescinded the Super Bowl XLVIII MVP’s team medical exemption and fined him $10,000 for his misstatement.

Aaron Rodgers’ 4-Word Lie Just Handed the NFC Championship Game to Tom Brady or Aaron Donald: ‘Yeah, I’ve Been Immunized’. The “aaron rodgers number” is a hashtag that has been trending on Twitter since the Green Bay Packers quarterback told reporters he had received his annual flu shot.

The Green Bay Packers will face Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in a major clash between two of the NFL’s best quarterbacks. So we reasoned. Aaron Rodgers tested positive for COVID-19 on Wednesday, ruling him out of Sunday’s game and putting his fate for the Packers’ next game in question.

While it is hoped that Rodgers will just miss one game, even that may make the difference in the NFC’s tight race for home-field advantage.

Aaron Rodgers’ immunization status has finally been disclosed.

NFL players throughout the country addressed — or failed to address — their immunization status during the summer. Rodgers seemed to dodge the topic many times before finally responding in August with a four-word response: “Yeah, I’ve been inoculated.”

It’s unclear precisely what “immunized” implies. However, as Ian Rapoport of NFL Network noted on The Pat McAfee Show, this hasn’t exactly been a well guarded secret inside the Packers organization.

“The Green Bay Packers have known for a long time that Aaron Rodgers has never been immunized. For those who haven’t been vaccinated, Rodgers has been following the COVID-19 guidelines.”

That simplifies matters a bit, however the emphasis should be on Rodgers’ refusal to disclose his immunization status.

Rodgers is now out for Sunday’s game against the Chiefs, and he may also be out for the game against the Seattle Seahawks on November 14.

Rodgers’ choice might have far-reaching ramifications, tipping the scales in favor of other NFC rivals.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Los Angeles Rams, and Dallas Cowboys may have just lucked out. The Packers and Arizona Cardinals have the best records in the NFC heading into Week 9. The Rams are also 7-1, but they behind the Cardinals in the standings and are now in the wild-card round.

The Cowboys are 6-1, and Dak Prescott is expected to return, which is great news for America’s Team. The Buccaneers and Brady are also 6-2 and on the verge of a playoff berth.

Overall, the NFC standings are as packed as Times Square on New Year’s Eve, and even one or two defeats may send a club to the Wild Card Round without home-field advantage.

According to NFL-NFLPA regulations, Aaron Rodgers, the Packers’ quarterback, may return on Saturday, November 13.

If Jordan Love can’t carry the weight while Rodgers is gone for at least a week — and maybe longer — the Packers might fall behind in the standings. Rodgers will be absent for at least 10 days due to his lack of vaccinations, with his earliest return date set for Nov. 13, one day before the Seahawks’ Week 10 game.

It’s Jordan Love’s turn to face the reigning AFC champs.

Kurt Benkert, a member of the #Packers practice squad, tested positive earlier this week. Aaron Rodgers, the reigning NFL MVP, is now optimistic as well. Jordan Love, the lone healthy quarterback on the roster, is in the building today and will start vs the #Chiefs.

The Packers had been waiting for Rodgers to come around all summer and were ready to start Jordan Love. With Rodgers out, now is the moment for Love to take command, even if it’s just for one game.

The Packers wasted no time in bringing in Blake Bortles in anticipation of his joining the active roster after backup Kurt Benkert tested positive for the flu.

According to a source, veteran quarterback Blake Bortles is travelling to Green Bay with the anticipation of signing with the Packers’ practice squad and being available for the 53-man roster on Sunday. Bortles was on the Packers’ roster until Aaron Rodgers reported this summer.

Nonetheless, despite the optimism around Love, Rodgers’ absence will be damaging to this club. In a crucial Thursday night game against the Cardinals, Rodgers had just willed the club to win with three touchdown passes despite the absence of Davante Adams and Allen Lazard.

For the next several weeks, the situation in Green Bay will be exceedingly fluid – as if it hasn’t already been a major headache considering all that has happened in the last six months. However, Rodgers’ vaccination status has become a topic of conversation in the NFL.
