According to Pro Football Talk, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers expressed his dissatisfaction on Friday after arriving in France ahead of Sunday's international game against the New Orleans Saints. He pointed out that despite playing overseas with three different franchises, teams are often forced to adhere to a rushed travel schedule on Thursday evenings, rather than getting an earlier arrival to properly acclimate.
While this complaint about travel arrangements sparked significant discussion about international scheduling, Rodgers quickly shifted the focus back to his on-field performance. A report shared on X by ClutchPoints highlighted that the Steelers won the first-ever NFL game in Paris, largely due to Rodgers' record-setting performance. He has now thrown 540 regular-season touchdowns, surpassing Peyton Manning, and trails only Drew Brees (571) and Tom Brady (649).
