The Green Bay Packers logged their fifth straight win of the season on Sunday in a dominant display against the Chicago Bears. It was another impressive performance from the great Aaron Rodgers and for good measure, the reigning league MVP also delivered one of the most savage troll jobs against Bear fans right after scoring the game-sealing touchdown of the evening.
After the game, Rodgers revealed the real story behind his decision to shout the line “I still own you” to the home crowd while celebrating his TD (h/t Packers beat writer Tom Silverstein):
Rodgers said he scored and saw a woman in the stands giving him the double bird. But he wasn’t real conscious of what he said. “I definitely blacked out,” he said jokingly of yelling out after his score. https://t.co/om6mXStmKM

Chicago fans are one of the most passionate bunches you'll ever see in the NFL so it isn't surprising that Rodgers got the double bird treatment from them during Sunday's showdown. Rodgers himself is not new to the occasional fan interaction and he knew exactly what to say to the disrespectful Bears supporter in the stands.
The Packers QB did say that he “blacked out” when he uttered that epic clap back, but there's no denying that he kept that line in his bag for a special occasion such as this. What hurts more for Bears fans is that this is actually true.
Rodgers finished Sunday's win with 17-of-23 completed passes for 195 yards and two touchdowns. The 37-year-old also added seven carries for 19 yards, including the above-mentioned third touchdown. It goes without saying that Aaron Rodgers is playing some dominant football right now.
