GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV) – We can debate who’s the best all we want, but at the end of the game, only one of these quarterbacks will be taking their team to a Super Bowl. Tom Brady will be looking at his 7th Super Bowl ring, the first one without Bill Belichick, and in his first season with a brand new team, coaches and teammates.
For Aaron Rodgers, this would be his second Super Bowl since the Packers won it back in 2010. They’ve lost the last three NFC Championship games that they’ve played in. Stakes are high, to say the least.
