Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady both still seem to feel a type of way about the Green Bay Packers’ decision not to go for it on fourth down in the final quarter of last January’s NFC Championship Game.
The two future NFL Hall of Fame quarterbacks joined their respective golf partners — Phil Mickelson with Brady and Bryson DeChambeau with Rodgers — for an interview with Bleacher Report on Tuesday in promotion of The Match, their upcoming golf showdown that is set for July 6 in Big Sky, Montana. Naturally, Brady couldn’t make it through without taking a playful shot at Rodgers for their previous encounter.
“I do think you do have a partner that probably would have liked to go for it a little more often than he has in the past,” Brady joked to DeChambeau, referencing the Packers’ much-criticized decision to kick a field goal down eight points with 2:05 left to play. “So Bryson, I’m glad you’re encouraging him to kind of go for it when it’s on the line rather than just knock it into the fairway or something like that and play for the next shot.”
“Well, I usually don’t get the option,” answered Rodgers, who was smiling and wearing in clear view of his camera a shirt that read: “I’m offended.”
“I know the pain,” Brady added.
