After seemingly spending their life-force earning this win, the Packers were routed in the NFC championship game by the Atlanta Falcons, who famously went on to blow a 28-3 lead against the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl. In a thrilling playoff game in Arizona, the Packers were down with 50 seconds remaining and facing a fourth-and-20 situation. Rodgers pulled off the first of a series of improbable plays en route to tying the game and forcing overtime. With 4 seconds remaining, Rodgers and Janis connected again, this time for a 41-yard Hail Mary touchdown that forced overtime.

So when the Packers touched down in Minnesota last Saturday for their Week 1 game against the Vikings and Rodgers was seen sporting a new fresh cut it was naturally going to get people's attention. Some online were comparing it to "Peaky Blinders" of the Netflix crime drama show. Aaron Rodgers had a good game and a bad hair day ― and the latter seized the attention of the quarterback’s critics on Sunday.

If Rodgers is of a superstitious nature, he may consider shaking things up to get back into a groove — including, perhaps, a new haircut. Rodgers picked the right venue — playoff hockey and basketball at Madison Square Garden — to do just that. Any extended absence from Rodgers this season would necessitate the Jets turning to veteran backup Tyrod Taylor, who made five starts for the New York Giants in 2023. New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers said he is experiencing "absolutely zero pain" from the 2023 season-ending Achilles injury he suffered in September. But Dr. Jonathan Laxton, a University of Manitoba general internal medicine professor, said other drug approvals followed while Fauci was leading the institute, and there are now more than 25 antiretroviral drugs available to treat HIV. At the time, in 1987, drug approvals typically took eight to 10 years, so AZT’s approval was fast-tracked.

He's a rare breed of dude who can make most facial hair looks work — which is pretty exemplary in a few entries down this list. Rodgers caught the football world's attention this offseason, not only for his drama with the Packers, but because of his new 'do entering his next, and potentially last, season with Green Bay. "I think when I saw my picture from the NFL Honors, I said, 'Woof. Might be time,'" Rodgers said.

It was Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals series between the Knicks and Miami Heat. The Knicks showed a brief video montage of Rodgers from his introductory Jets news conference and first practice on the Jumbotron. The crowd went wild when Rodgers was shown on the Jumbotron during the Rangers’ 5-2 win over the New Jersey Devils in Game 6 of that first-round playoff series. Rodgers attended the game with former Packers-turned-Jets wide receiver Allen Lazard and new teammate Breece Hall, New York’s young running back. It was starting to look a little long, so at least here you've got the evidence of what Rodgers looked like pre-cut, whenever he decides to get it cut.

Also during the podcast episode, Rodgers tried to connect Fauci's handling of the HIV/AIDS epidemic to the government's response to the coronavirus. Comments Aaron Rodgers previously made about HIV have resurfaced online, resulting in furious backlash from social media users. It's an eerie career parallel with Rodgers' predecessor, Brett Favre, who also was traded to the Jets, thus setting the stage for one of the game's greatest-ever quarterbacks. When Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers landed on Minnesota over the weekend, he quickly went viral for his new Peaky Blinders-inspired look. He definitely looked like Arthur Shelby, with fans just shocked by the uncanny resemblance.

Rodgers, 40, later said he thought the Achilles injury would end his NFL career, per ESPN's Rich Cimini. Rodgers missed almost the entire 2023 season after tearing his left Achilles four snaps into his Week 1 Jets debut. As we said, there's no telling what Rodgers' head will look like when faced off with the usually clean-cut Brady.

Rodgers, 37, typically posts photos of himself from Halloween on social media. In 2019, the Packers star dressed up as Uncle Rico from Napoleon Dynamite. In 2017, Rodgers dressed up as Steve Zissou from The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. Sept. 23 (UPI) -- Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has a specific reason for his rugged appearance this NFL season, which includes long hair and an unshaven face. The Packers quarterback revealed Tuesday that he is growing out his mane for a Halloween costume.

What we learned from draft's 2nd night

Or maybe the G.O.A.T. will have taken inspiration from Rodgers and grown his hair out, too. Guess we'll all just have to tune into the NFC Championship Game and wait for a fateful moment when the cameras catch Rodgers taking his helmet off. — surely, that'll be the most suspense-filled moment of the contest.

During the 2008 offseason, a messy divorce between the Packers and Favre resulted in a trade of the team legend to the New York Jets. Once up 21-3 on the Cowboys, the Packers had seen their lead evaporate but had possession with the game tied at 31 and 30-plus seconds remaining. The Packers did gain 17 yards on a pass to Ty Montgomery, but lost 10 yards on a sack. The Packers faced a third-and-20 situation from their own 32-yard line with 12 seconds remaining. Rodgers rolled out to his left and heaved a pass down the sideline to Jared Cook, who was able to simultaneously haul in the football and drag his toes for a completion. The 35-yard gain put the ball on the Cowboys' 33-yard line, and kicker Mason Crosby booted the 51-yard field goal as time expired for the spectacular win.

Rodgers revealed during his weekly appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show" Tuesday that it all relates to his Halloween costume this year. If you look closely, you'll notice the gray hairs poking out of Rodgers' chinny-chin-chin, indicating that Rodgers has reached peak wisdom. He likely sits atop the Himalayan mountains in the offseason, consulting with the football gods and meditating on how to pick apart defenses. While the scruff was apparent in years prior, Rodgers starts to turn to the facial hair to continue shifting his visage in his career.
