After a cold game in the winter of 2019, Rodgers remarked, "This is our weather, and we love this weather."

Statistics from Pro Football Reference was used in an article by WFRV that stated Rodgers and the Packers excelled in cold-weather contests.

In his 18-year career, Rodgers has a record of 28-8 altogether and 6-3 in the postseason in contests played in below-freezing temperatures. When starting games where conditions are at 32 degrees or lower, Rodgers' winning rate increases to nearly 75%, compared to his total career winning rate of just over 65%.

Additionally, Aaron Rodgers has a quarterback rating of 108.3 and has thrown just 13 interceptions while accumulating 76 touchdowns in these games. These games are won by the Green Bay Packers with an average score of 15.5 points.

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.

At the start of the game, Miami's temperature was 8 degrees Celsius, making it the second-coldest home game in the Miami Dolphins' history.

Will Aaron Rodgers and the Packers play in the cold for Week 17?

It will be chilly when the Minnesota Vikings play at Lambeau Field on Sunday. However, the Green Bay Packers are aware that finishing the regular season with two victories will significantly increase their chances of entering the postseason.

They have to defeat the Minnesota Vikings, who trounced them in Week 1, in order to get there.
