Green Bay’s star quarterback Aaron Rodgers thinks about winning the Super Bowl daily as he eyes a second NFL ring.
He won his first and only championship in 2010 when the Packers beat the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XLV.
Now, as the Packers hone their game for Sunday’s NFC divisional playoff against the Seattle Seahawks, he’s thinking about very little else.
“It’s on my mind every day,” the two-time NFL MVP told the media on Wednesday. “That’s why we play the game.
Packers just two games away from Super Bowl
“That’s why you put in the time in the offseason. That’s why you do the little things. It’s to put yourself in this position where you’re two games away from being able to compete for that (the Super Bowl).
“I’m 36; I know what this is all about. This is an important opportunity for us. I feel like I’ve got a lot of really good years left, but you never know. A lot of things happen year to year.
“We’ve had some great teams that have been an injury away or a play away from being special, so I want to make the most of this opportunity.”
He added: “When I was 31, I thought I was going to play into my 40s – and that was still a decade away. “Now, I’m 36, so we’re now a half a decade away.”
