Aaron Rodgers comes to Arrowhead for the first time since 2011 to take on the Chiefs.

Starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers is coming off a season high performance against the Chiefs AFC West division rival Oakland Raiders. In this game, Rodgers completed 81% of his passes for over 400 yards and five touchdowns. He also managed to find the end zone with his feet as well running one in from three yards out.

This season, Aaron Rodgers has been paired with a new head coach, Matt LaFleur. Since entering the league after being drafted in the first round of the 2005 draft, Rodgers has been through three different head coaches (Mike Sherman 05, Mike McCarthy 06-18).

Seven weeks into the 2019 season, Rodgers and LeFleur are finally starting to gel with their new offense. Inconveniently for the Kansas City is that it is happening right as they are playing Green Bay and when they just lost Mahomes to injury.

Rodgers bring in a new challenge for the KC defense to go up against. Setting inside the top five in both pass yards and touchdowns already this season both coverage and pass rush will be important in slowing down the seven time Pro Bowler.
