The Green Bay Packers are set to host the San Francisco 49ers in their Divisional Round game, but Aaron Rodgers is focused on another opponent: Tom Brady. In fact, he decided to dig up some of Brady's past that labeled him a cheater in the eyes of many football fans in 2015.

It has been just over seven years since “Deflategate,” but, as both Rodgers and Brady have proved, time doesn't mean much in the NFL. Both quarterbacks are playing elite football well past the stereotypical “prime” that most players peak at.

TMZ reported Thursday that the Packers quarterback brought up the scandal in an interview with Sportsnet. According to the report, Rodgers said “This is too firm for the Patriots,” holding a football, indirectly poking fun at the situation, along with Brady and Bill Belichick.

If you need a quick refresher, Deflategate was the scandal where the Patriots were accused of cheating in the AFC Championship Game between New England and the Indianapolis Colts. People accused the Patriots of deflating the football to gain a competitive advantage, which, isn't too far-fetched, being that the score was 45-7.

Rodgers should be careful what he says because if both veteran quarterbacks and their teams win this weekend, they will compete for the NFC Championship title next. The ball, NFL regulation 13 psi, is in your court now, Brady.
