Decent Beginning For A. Rodgers

Aaron Rodgers had a decent preseason beginning Monday night to his tenure as the starting quarterback of the Green Bay Packers.

Rodgers threw an early interception on a deflected pass but regrouped to connect on 9 of 15 throws for 117 yards and a touchdown in a quarter of work against the Cincinnati Bengals at Lambeau Field.

"I understand the attention around his performance tonight and him playing tonight," Packers Coach Mike McCarthy said during his postgame news conference. "But I saw Aaron as like he is every day. I thought he went out there and played with excellent energy, which I always recall him playing with. I think he's done a really good job being consistent. I understand the microscope is on him with all the attention, but those are really external forces that we can't really pay attention to."
