The last time the Patriots played the Packers four years ago in Foxborough, the post-game scene at midfield was a bit, well, nauseating.
“You’re the best,” Aaron Rodgers told Bill Belichick following the Patriots’ 31-17 win.
“No, you are, you are” Belichick responded. “You’re awesome.”
“You hang up first.”
“No YOU hang up first.”
Belichick is famous for lavishing praise upon his opponent. But his admiration of Rodgers isn’t just coach speak. Belichick seems to truly love Rodgers’s game.
“He’s as good as anybody that I’ve faced, and we’ve faced a lot of good ones through the years,” Belichick said before the 2018 matchup.
