The Green Bay Packers are 3-1, but it’s safe to say that the team hasn’t looked all that convincing to start the 2022 NFL season. This can be especially said for their star quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who hasn’t been producing his trademark big plays throughout the first four weeks.

It appears that Rodgers, who is averaging a career-low 6.2 air yards per passing attempt, is well aware of this and hopes to right the wrongs in the upcoming game vs. the New York Giants in London on Sunday.

While speaking with reporters on Friday, Rodgers said that he would have a chat with Green Bay’s head coach Matt LaFleur and try to make his case for more big plays.

“Hell yeah, of course,” Rodgers told reporters. “Matt’s kind of in a grumpy mood right now. When he gets a little bit of rest and will be in a better mood, we’ll talk about airing it out a little bit more.”

After delivering back-to-back MVP seasons, Aaron Rodgers has looked rather sluggish in 2022. He threw for 935 yards and six touchdowns, alongside three interceptions. To put things in context, the 38-year-old had four picks in the entire 2021. Rodgers also has a QBR of 44.8, his lowest mark in the first four games of the season since he became a starter in 2008.
