Rodgers is now cleared from daily COVID-19 testing for the next 90 days and also won't be subjected to the five-day quarantine if he's considered a close contact. 'Having a lot of the suits reach out and check on me was really, really special,' he said. Included among them, Rodgers said, were neighbors, teammates, coaches and even people in the organization. But again, I'm just so deeply grateful for all the people that reached out.' I don't define myself by the criticism, but I understand it's a part of this because this issue is definitely polarizing. 'There's always going to be criticism in this world. 'Everybody has an opinion and I understand that it's a very polarizing issue for some individuals, but I'm just focusing on the support that I got and it was deep and wide, and greatly appreciated,' Rodgers said. Rodgers received both criticism and support for his comments on vaccinations and acknowledged last week that he might have misled the public about his vaccination status when he said on Aug. The Packers (8-2) still have two more games before their Week 13 bye. So it was fun to be back out there, and I'm excited for our guys, I really am.' I felt great on the field, but it's been a couple weeks since I've been out there playing.

'I'm happy I'm just so tired,' Rodgers said. He also spoke in somewhat hushed tones when compared with his usual postgame manner following victories, prompting a question about whether he was happy.

Rodgers did not say why he chose the virtual option on Sunday. Rodgers conducted his postgame news conference via Zoom after the Packers were fined $300,000 last week in part because the QB broke the COVID-19 protocol that requires unvaccinated players to speak to reporters either virtually, or in person while wearing a mask. I thought there were a lot of plays, for whatever reason, that didn't quite work out.' 'But we've got so much confidence in his ability to go out there and execute. 'I wouldn't say it was tough to game plan, but you're always wondering how it's going to look on game day when you haven't had any reps with him,' LaFleur said. Rodgers technically did not practice all week, although the team typically holds a walk-through session the day before games. Packers coach Matt LaFleur and the offensive staff did most of their game-planning virtually with Rodgers until Saturday, when he was allowed back at Lambeau Field. It was his second red zone interception of the season after not throwing any inside the 20-yard line all of last season. His interception came in the red zone on an un-Rodgers-like play, when he threw a ball up in desperation and was picked off in the end zone by Seahawks safety Jamal Adams. He completed 23 of 37 passes for 292 yards. He had previously been 1-5 in such games. It was only Rodgers' second career win without a touchdown pass and with at least one interception. Just walking out with Preston, who I have so much love and appreciation for, and then hearing that type of response from the crowd - it was a little extra special today.' When asked why he got 'misty' after the game, Rodgers said: 'I just don't take these things for granted, walking off the field as a winner. It was good to feel those types of emotions and good to be back with the guys.' The most emotions from the whole night was probably walking off the field after the game. 'Good to be back with the guys, good to be back at home, good to be on the field, really. 'A lot of emotions for sure,' Rodgers said. It won't go down on any list of Rodgers' greatest games, but he still walked off Lambeau Field on Sunday sounding satisfied and grateful, if not a little tired. That's how Aaron Rodgers said he felt after the Green Bay Packers' 17-0 win over the Seattle Seahawks in the quarterback's return from his 10-day absence due to COVID-19.
