Aaron Rodgers has strong words for Chicago Bears fans

Aaron Rodgers have shown throughout his legendary NFL career that he is not shy to speak his mind. He recently had some strong words for Chicago Bears fans.

The four-time MVP is entering his last season and will suit up for the Pittsburgh Steelers for the second straight year. He signed a one-year deal in May worth up to $25 million to play his 22nd campaign. Rodgers is a one-time Super Bowl champion, four-time first-team All-Pro and 10-time Pro Bowler, among many accolades.

Meanwhile, the Bears are coming off an NFC North win with an 11-6 record. They also reached the Divisional Round before losing 20-17 in overtime to the Los Angeles Rams. Caleb Williams and Co. have their sights set on surpassing their 2025 achievements and compete for a Super Bowl.

Aaron Rodgers expresses respect for Bears fans

Rodgers shared his thoughts about his visits to Soldier Field and Bears. He acknowledged that he is not a fan favorite in the city but spoke highly of the team’s supporters.

“I love Chicago fans,” Rodgers said. “Even when I told them that I own them, it was because everybody in the front row was flipping me off and screaming at me. But I love that. They are great sports fans.”

The quarterback led the Steelers to capturing the AFC North last year with a 10-7 record. While they were eliminated in the Wild Card Round, Rodgers showed that he can still bring success to a franchise. He is now 42 years old and repeatedly said that this would be his last season as a pro.

Pittsburgh will open its regular season on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons at Acrisure Stadium. Chicago, on the other hand, is set to face the Carolina Panthers on the same day. The team will travel to Bank of America Stadium in Week 1 before playing three consecutive games at Soldier Field.
