Last week, Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett said that Green Bay Packers fans making the trip out west forced the Cardinals’ offense to have to use their silent count at home. This isn’t anything new for the Packers, one of the bigger fan bases in the league, but it does seem to be a recurring theme for the 2025 season.
When asked about the “Go Pack Go” chants in Pittsburgh on Sunday night in his post-game press conference, former Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, now the signal caller
for the Steelers, said the following:
“I’ve heard that chant for 18 years. Packers fans travel really well. First time in a while I’ve used silent count for a home game. It’s a credit to those Packers fans.”
So congrats to those of you who made the trip out to western PA for the game. You guys made a difference in this one.
Beyond just talking silent count, Rodgers added that he believed that the Steelers didn’t get as much out of their play-action game as they had expected, based on what they had done previously this season. He also gave this evaluation of quarterback Jordan Love’s 29 of 37 for 360 yards and three touchdowns performance:
“I thought J Love played great. He was super efficient. You know, he didn’t get sacked, moved around really well, made some plays outside the pocket. Thought he played outstanding.”
Later, Rodgers mentioned that Love was playing “opportunistic” in the game, consistently taking checkdowns and run alerts when given good looks for those plays. That’s probably one reason why Love was able to make 20 straight completions on Sunday, a mark that tied Brett Favre for the most consecutive completions ever in Packers history.
