Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers were able to move to 3-0 on the season with a 27-16 victory over the Denver Broncos in Week 3. It was a big win for the team, even though they were favored to win it. Green Bay has now started a new era of football under head coach Matt LaFleur perfectly through three contests.
Following the team's big win over the Broncos, Rodgers took some time to speak out on the “fun” locker room that the Packers have put together. It is very clear that Rodgers is happier this year than he has been in quite some time. Matt Schneidman of The Athletic shared the quotes from Rodgers.
Aaron Rodgers on the feel in the #Packers locker room:
“It’s just a different energy. It’s palpable. It’s contagious. It’s charismatic. It’s fun.”

Green Bay has looked excellent on the defensive side of the football through the first three games. The offense is starting to come around, but still has quite a bit of work to do. Rodgers has not thrown an interception so far this season, but has tossed four touchdowns.
Brian Gutekunst and LaFleur knew the kind of team that they wanted to build. Mike Pettine also has the personnel that he needs to lead one of the league's top defenses.
While it may be a bit early to call the Packers legitimate Super Bowl contenders, they are certainly sending a message to the rest of the league. Many media members didn't think they were going to be that good. So far, Green Bay has been shutting up all of the critics and haters from the offseason.
Next up for the Packers will be a tough test against the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday Night Football.
