The Green Bay Packers starting off at 1-2 and sitting in the basement in the NFC North has caused a lot of loyal cheeseheads to panic, but Aaron Rodgers had a simple message for the team's fans this week: Relax.

Rodgers, who is off to a slow start by his standards, appeared on ESPN Milwaukee on Tuesday to deliver a message to his fans while he also dispelled the notion that his relationship with actress Olivia Munn has anything to do with his struggles.
"Five letters here just for everybody out there in Packer-land: R-E-L-A-X," Rodgers said Tuesday on his ESPN Milwaukee radio show, according to ESPN.com. "Relax. We're going to be OK."

Rodgers, 30, missed seven games last season due to a broken collarbone and is 2-3 in the five games he has played in since his return in Week 17 last year and including the playoffs.
Rodgers, a former Most Valuable Player, said that the injury has nothing to do with his struggles. The signal caller also suggested that the fact that he is dating Munn has nothing to do with his struggles this season.
"Everybody's wondering that?" Rodgers asked the program. "Those are so idiotic it's not even worth responding to either one of those," he added
Green Bay fell to the Seattle Seahawks (2-1) in Week 1 by a 36-16 margin and then the team narrowly escaped the New York Jets (1-2) in Week 2, digging their way out of an early hole and gaining help from an ill-timed timeout by New York that wiped out a touchdown to edge them out 31-24 at home.
In Week 3, the team didn't fare well against the division rival Detroit Lions (2-1), falling 19-7 and the team now awaits a visit to Chicago and a meeting with the Bears (2-1) in Week 4.
Rodgers and the Packers' offense ranks just 28th in the league in total yards and the quarter back's completion percentage (62.7 percent) has him at a pace to set the lowest mark in his career. The signal caller has failed to throw for over 200 yards in two of the team's opening three games.
Through three weeks, Rodgers has gone 64-for-102 for 697 yards with five touchdowns and an interception.
If the Packers fall to 1-3 by losing the Bears this Sunday, their fans will certainly be doing anything but relaxing.
