Rodgers asserted, when it becomes cold outside and on the field, "People don't move maybe at the same speed. I believe that we also have an edge in our field. On a cold, damp field, we know where we're going. That has always been beneficial. We have benefited from throwing the football in the weather as well."

Aaron Rodgers helped the Packers earn their third-straight victory in his most recent game by tossing for 238 yards, a score, and just one interception. After a 4-8 season start to the season, the team wants to challenge for the playoffs. Now, they are 7-8.
