The Packers defeated the Bears in the divisional game, but it wasn't all good news for the North.
Rodgers told reporters his toe injury feels worse after he suffered a bit of a setback in the win. He said surgery is his last resort as he continues to play through the broken toe that has not stopped him from playing.
The all-time great completed 29 of his 37 passes for 341 yards, four touchdown and zero turnovers, as he dominated the team he has largely dominated throughout his career.
The performance and latest update from Rodgers come after Adam Schefter reported the toe injury will be an issue for the rest of the campaign.
Rodgers has to feel his foot to throw because doctors can't completely numb the fractured left pinkie toe, according to one source.
The quarterback would need a pin placed in his toe if he underwent surgery, which is why he has not undergone any procedure.
Rodgers' ability to stay on the field is likely to be the most important factor in Green Bay's Super Bowl chances.
Jordan Love struggled during his one start this season, but he is one of the best quarterbacks in NFL history. Without Rodgers, the Packers scored just seven points in a loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, and looked like they were not a dominant offensive team.
He was unstoppable even though he had a toe.
More showings like that will help the Packers get a first-round bye.
