Aaron Rodgers may have won just one Super Bowl ring in 2011, but he came very close to winning a second nearly a decade later. Back in 2020, the quarterback was on a mission to lead the Green Bay Packers to their fifth championship, but a certain running back blocked his path by leading the San Francisco 49ers to a 37-20 victory over the Packers in the 2020 NFC Championship Game. Now, years later, Aaron Rodgers continues to give the now-Raiders RB crap about it.<\/p>\n

\u201cMe and A-Rod, we are actually good buddies,\u201d Raheem Mostert said on the latest episode of the 4th and South podcast. \u201cHe comes down here, and we hang out. Me, him, Jordan Poyer, we\u2019re all good friends. So, last year, it was his birthday. We got to celebrate on the boat. And he still talks about it to this day. He\u2019s like, \u2018I can\u2019t stand you. You took me out of winning another Super Bowl.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, he just gives me crap all the time. And I\u2019m like, \u2018Bro, I\u2019m sorry, I don\u2019t know what to tell you.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Aaron Rodgers had already cemented his legacy in Green Bay when he led the Packers to a 31\u201325 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XLV. During that game, Rodgers completed 24 of 39 passes for 304 yards and 3 touchdowns to earn Super Bowl MVP honors. Nearly a decade later, Rodgers looked poised to chase that glory again.<\/p>\n

The Packers finished the 2019 regular season with a 13\u20133 record and returned to the playoffs for the first time since 2016. It looked like the season Rodgers could add a second Super Bowl title to his r\u00e9sum\u00e9.<\/p>\n

But when the Packers reached the NFC Championship Game, Raheem Mostert completely changed the script. During the 2019 regular season, Mostert had already proven his value by leading the 49ers with 772 rushing yards on 137 carries. But in the NFC Championship Game, Mostert delivered the performance of his career.<\/p>\n

The RB rushed for a staggering 220 yards and scored 4 TDs, overwhelming the Packers\u2019 defense. Mostert set the tone early, breaking free for a 36-yard touchdown in the first quarter before adding two more scores from 9 and 18 yards out in the second, completely overwhelming the Packers\u2019 defense. By halftime, Mostert had already racked up 160 rushing yards, and Green Bay\u2019s defense had no answer.<\/p>\n

Then came the third quarter, when Mostert sealed the game with a 22-yard touchdown run. Even after moving to other NFL teams in later years, Mostert\u2019s performance in that game clearly left an impression on Rodgers.<\/p>\n

NFL fans saw another reminder of it in 2023 during the in-season edition of HBO\u2019s Hard Knocks series. After the Miami Dolphins defeated the New York Jets 34\u201313, cameras captured Rodgers approaching Mostert on the field. Rodgers playfully shoved the RB and joked that he was \u201cstill mad about a few years ago.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the time, Mostert laughed and told Rodgers to \u201clet it go.\u201d But even years later, Rodgers apparently hasn\u2019t forgotten that painful night in San Francisco.<\/p>\n

Was Mostert the only reason for the end of Rodgers\u2019 second Super Bowl run?<\/h2>\n

While Raheem Mostert\u2019s performance in the 2020 NFC Championship Game was the highlight, the outcome of the game involved far more than one player. Aaron Rodgers finished the 2019 regular season with 4,002 passing yards, 26 TDs, and just four interceptions to make the Packers look like Super Bowl contenders. But his performance wasn\u2019t good enough against a Niners defense that allowed the fewest passing yards in the NFL that year.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s one of the best to ever do it,\u201d 49ers linebacker Fred Warner said in the post-game interview while talking about Rodgers. \u201cHe kept his team in the game. Much respect to Aaron and the Packers. They had an outstanding season, but I think we out-executed them today.\u201d<\/p>\n

In that game, Aaron Rodgers completed 31 of 39 passes for 326 yards and two TDs and two INTs. The Niners\u2019 defense put up a solid front against Rodgers from the beginning. On Green Bay\u2019s second drive, 49ers defensive lineman Nick Bosa sacked Rodgers for a 13-yard loss. From there, the pressure only intensified on Rodgers.<\/p>\n

By halftime, the Packers had fallen into a massive 27-point deficit. And Rodgers couldn\u2019t lead a touchdown drive until the third quarter. The 49ers\u2019 defense also created multiple turnovers by forcing Rodgers to fumble three times and intercepting him twice.<\/p>\n

In the second quarter, 49ers cornerback Emmanuel Moseley first intercepted Rodgers and returned the ball to Green Bay\u2019s 30-yard line. Later in the game, with just 1:48 remaining, 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman intercepted Rodgers\u2019 final pass to seal the victory.<\/p>\n

Green Bay also struggled to establish any consistency on the ground, managing just 62 rushing yards with 3.9 yards per carry on average. Meanwhile, Raheem Mostert continued to slice through the Packers\u2019 defense, finding running lanes, breaking tackles, and controlling the clock to help the Niners protect their lead. Ultimately, the 49ers dominated in nearly every phase of that game to book their ticket to the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
