Stephen A., Keyshawn get heated during this Aaron Rodgers debate (2:24)

Keyshawn Johnson and Stephen A. Smith debate whether or not the Packers will return to the Super Bowl. There is a time and a place for it.

12:36 PM ET

Maybe a trip across the pond will be what the Packers need to get their passing game back on track.

While Sunday's game against the New York Giants in London is long on running backs with the NFL's leading rusher in Saquon Barkley on one side and the Packers' combination of the two running backs, Rodgers is still the star attraction.

When he was asked if he wanted LaFleur to let him speak, Rodgers didn't hesitate.

Rodgers said yes. Right now, Matt is in a grumpy mood. We will talk about airing it out a little bit more when he gets a little bit of rest.

Rodgers was referring to the fact that LaFleur hasn't hid his less than excited attitude about the travel and logistical issues of playing in London.

Before LaFleur took questions from reporters in London, he asked what time it was. I am trying to figure it out.

The Packers didn't leave Green Bay's Central time zone until Thursday evening, so he was on his body clock at 6 a.m.

He said that he got a bit of sleep. I'm not sure. I'm wondering if I'm coming across as cranky.

The first of 32 London games between two teams with winning records is between the Packers and Giants on Sunday. Rodgers' passer rating is his worst in the first four games of a season since he became a starter. Big plays have escaped him because his 6.2 air-yard average is his lowest through four games.

The way the Packers were winning was not sustainable according to Rodgers.

The other half of some games has been pretty bad and the other half has been pretty good. We need to put on a show for the fans in the stadium. It should be mostly green and gold.
