Rodgers didn't choke. He was shut down by a good defense and a good game plan. [View all]

Repost from another thread:

“We were disguising (coverages) really well,” said 49ers free safety Jimmie Ward. “And we confused him (Rodgers).”

Rodgers, 38, is a 17-year veteran who was making is 228th career start. Did the 49es really flummox him?

“I think the only way you can know for sure is to ask Aaron,” (49ers linebacker) Warner said.

“They did a good job of kind of getting me off the spot and a better job of taking away some of the quick game that we got going the last time we played them,” Rodgers said. “… They had a good plan, for sure. It was more of the pass rush. The pass rush was formidable.”

Everyone loathes Rodgers for being a douchebag. Count me in. But do some research before hanging the choke tag on him. I did.

Remember the Super Bowl from last year? Mahomes was shut down. Did he choke? No. His back-up O-line was unable to protect.
