Although Danica Patrick was raised a Chicago Bears fan, she has since switched her allegiance, for obvious reasons, and cheers for not just boyfriend Aaron Rodgers but also the Green Bay Packers as a team. She’s been a vocal supporter throughout the NFL season, so of course, she was pumped when the Packers beat the Seattle Seahawks, 28-23, on Sunday.
Patrick was at Lambeau Field for the divisional round playoff game, when Rodgers threw 16-for-27 for 243 yards and two touchdowns to lead the team to victory. The Packers advanced to the NFC championship game next weekend and will play the San Francisco 49ers, who beat the Minnesota Vikings on Saturday, on the road for a shot at the Super Bowl.
While Patrick updated her Instagram stories Sunday night after the game ended, she shared a photo Monday of Rodgers’ cheering section.
In the caption, she wrote:
Kind of excited crew last night! 😄 go pack go!!!!!!…..onto San Fran! Feelin it. Anybody else?!!!!!!!
Earlier this season, Patrick celebrated Rodgers’ perfect game in October with a touching message about his ability on the field and his character off it. She said in part:
While Aaron’s greatness is measured and very very impressive on the field, he should also be known for the great human he is off the field. Every weekend there is a group of amazing people that fly from far and wide to support him, some new friends (many are my old friends) but most he has had for decades.
And now that the Packers are onto the NFC championship game Sunday in San Francisco, Patrick is as excited as any Packers fan. She also updated her Instagram stories Monday afternoon, continuing to show her support not just for Rodgers but also the whole team.
The NFC championship game between the Packers and 49ers is Sunday, January 19 at 6:40 p.m. ET on FOX.
