Green Bay Packers’ star quarterback Aaron Rodgers cares about winning, even if that doesn’t look pretty on the field. Following a tough 20-15 win against struggling Washington Redskins on Sunday, Rodgers said he doesn’t mind winning ugly if that will get his team to a Super Bowl.

Packers entered the Redskins game as overwhelming favorites, considering that Washington was at 3-9. After two touchdowns in the first quarter, Green Bay’s offense stalled and scored just two field goals for the rest of the game. Redskins attempted a comeback, but the Packs managed to hold them off to go to 10-3 record.

“We’ve got to clean some of that stuff up, but I wouldn’t mind winning ugly all the way to the Super Bowl,” – said Rodgers after the game.

Rodgers finished the game by completing 18 out of 28 passes for 195 yards and one touchdown. This was the third time in last five games that the 36-year-old had below 200 passing yards.

“Winning is the only thing that matters,” – he added. “Even in the midst of some of these games that aren’t great flow the entire time, we are winning. We expect to win games when the defense holds them to less than 20 points.”

With the win against Washington Redskins, Green Bay Packers pulled one game ahead of Minnesota Vikings in NFC North. Packers have three more games left, including a visit to Vikings’ U.S. Bank Stadium in Week 16.

In previous years, Green Bay Packers’ quarterback Aaron Rodgers got accustomed of having to put on some unreal performances in the attempt to overcome the deficits of his defense and get a win for his team. It seems like he doesn’t have to do that anymore.

In the first three games of the 2019 NFL season, the story of the Packers isn’t Rodgers or offense; it’s their intimidating defense. The defense carried Green Bay to 3-0 record and made up for the growing pains that the offense had under the new coach Matt LaFleur. They lead the league in QB pressures and takeaways while being second in scoring.

Packers’ offense, on the other side, ranks at the bottom of the NFL in total offense, third-down conversion, and scoring. It’s something that Rodgers doesn’t want to see happening. 

“It’s time for us to do our part on offense,” – said Rodgers ahead of Thursday’s game against Philadelphia Eagles. “Moving forward, we’re going to play a stretch of really good football teams. At some point, we can’t expect our defense to shut everybody down. They have been, but at some point, the offense is going to have to wake up and start making some plays.”

Rodgers has been especially quiet this season, throwing for just 647 yards and four touchdowns, while having QBR of 96.5. The rest of the offense is also slow to wake up, as their star wide receiver Davante Adams has 15 catches for 198 yards and no TDs to show for while tight end Jimmy Graham managed only three catches for 30 yards.

Although things look good for Green Bay at the moment, Rodgers knows that he has to do his part in order for his team to have a real chance at the Super Bowl this year.

“We’ve never wanted to just manage the football game around here,” – he added. “The standards are very high for us. We’ve got to play a lot better on offense. We’ve played some good defenses, no doubt about it, but the standard and expectations are very high here, and we haven’t met them on offense.”
