And the quarterback is already in midseason form, preening for the cameras at the U.S. Open, cheering for his favorite unvaxxed tennis star, Novak Djokovic.But if Rodgers is going to return to his MVP form, it certainly won’t be Monday night against one of the NFL’s top defenses: the Buffalo Bills.
