Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers are heading into the final week of the 2018 NFL season against the Detroit Lions. It is a game that won't matter as far as playoff positioning, but it does mean something for team chemistry. As far as getting to know the younger players more, Rodgers made it clear that he has no interest in playing the popular video game Fortnite in order to do so.
Zach Kruse of Packers Wire shared Rodgers' hilarious quote about not getting into video games to build chemistry with younger players on the Packers' roster.

There have been quite a few critics who have been letting Rodgers have it this season. He has missed some throws that fans and the media have become accustomed to seeing him make. Green Bay is also set to miss the playoffs for the second straight season.
Despite all of the criticism, Rodgers has continued playing hard for his teammates and his numbers actually don't look that bad.
Throughout the 2018 NFL season, Rodgers has completed 62.3 percent of his passes for 4,416 yards, 25 touchdowns, and just two interceptions. He has also rushed for 269 yards and two touchdowns on the year.
At 35 years old, Rodgers isn't getting any younger and there is some concern growing in Green Bay. He has dealt with injuries over the last couple of years and the window could be coming to a close in a few seasons. If the Packers want to compete for another championship, they need to get aggressive now.
Rodgers may not have had a perfect season, but it's time for fans and the media in Green Bay to relax a bit.
