I’m going to remember it for a long time. Hopefully the team gets the chance to come back and play here again.
“Our fans were loud all the time, it was outstanding. “The crowd was incredible,” Rodgers told the media afterwards. So I’ve been to a lot of games in the States,” Martin, who says he’s seen a lot of great players – including Brady – in games in the US, said.Īfter the game, Rodgers said the reception in the UK was “special,” saying the atmosphere was like a home game while also apologizing for the “disjointed performance.” When I go to a game, I support the home team.

Gaints receiver Darius Slayton has his jersey pulled by Jaire Alexander of the Packers as he attempts to be tackled. On the final play of the game, with just one final opportunity to pull a win out the bag, Rodgers was sacked by Oshane Ximines and fumbled the ball, handing the win to Giants. However, Giants defensive linemen and linebackers deflected Rodgers’ passes and allowed the Giants to run the clock down. With under two minutes to play, Rodgers had driven the offense to within the Giants 10-yard line. Giants running back Saquon Barkley continued his strong start to the season, finishing the game with a touchdown and 106 total yards as New York’s defense put the clamps on Rodgers late in the fourth quarter to seal victory. Green Bay built up a 10-point half-time lead as they looked to be rolling but some offensive miscues and some good Giants defense halted the Packers and eventually turned the tide towards New York.
Rodgers threw for two touchdowns, one each to Allen Lazard and Marcedes Lewis, as the Packers raced into a first half lead only for the Giants to come back and win 27-22. But nobody wants to give up a Green Bay home game, so it’s exciting to finally get a chance to go over.”Īnd for those who traveled from all over to see the storied quarterback for the first time, as many had, they were treated to a special first half performance by Rodgers, but a quiet second half. “I’ve been talking about doing this for years, since they started this – I couldn’t wait to get over. “I wanted to go over early to experience a bit of that culture, to be able to get out, see some sights and interact with fans, go to a pub and have a Guinness or whatever the local brew is,” he said. And who could blame them, even at 38 years old he is still amongst the league’s best quarterbacks.īefore Sunday’s game, Rodgers expressed his personal excitement to do more than just play in London. They’ve all come to watch the great Aaron Rodgers, the NFL’s reigning Most Valuable Player (MVP).
