Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been medically cleared to return the field, filling Packers fans with newfound hope about a possible trip to the postseason.

And while Rodgers, himself, has come out and said he isn’t returning to save the team’s season, it’s hard for fans not to get excited about his imminent return, because, let’s face it, the game is just more fun to watch when Aaron Rodgers is a part of it.

The two-time league MVP has had plenty of time to watch his team struggle without him, though, especially in last week’s narrow defeat of the win-less Cleveland Browns. Still, the team’s struggles haven’t stopped Rodgers from having fun, evident from this video prior to last week’s game in Cleveland.

Take a look.

I love how the ref actually thinks Rodgers is going to throw a punch there. Green Bay fans are certainly hoping that Rodgers’ return will be a punch to the gut for the rest of the NFC.

The Packers travel to Carolina this Sunday to take on the Panthers.
