Wisconsin bar’s Aaron Rodgers promotion ends in huge tabs and heartbreak for these Packers fans

Bills and Jets fans weren't the only ones left reeling from the aftermath of their Week 1 matchup on Monday Night Football. Eight hundred miles away, a group of Green Bay Packers fans in Milwaukee were just as devastated about the Jets' win.

Jack's American Pub, a bar on Milwaukee's East Side, is offering a unique promotion for the 2023 NFL season. If the Jets lose, the bar pays for all open drink tabs. The only caveat? Rodgers has to start the game for New York.

So when Bills linebacker Leonard Floyd sacked the former Packer during the first drive of his Jets debut, the bar erupted with cheers. When its patrons realized Rodgers was hurt, they cheered again... and started running up their drink tabs.

The excitement of what felt like a certain victory for the Bills and free alcohol for Jack's patrons slowly soured into disappointment. Buffalo blew their 10-point halftime lead and eventually lost the game on a punt-return touchdown in overtime.

Aaron Rodgers injury

With the official news that the Jets' quarterback tore his Achilles on Monday night, his 2023 season is officially over.

Jack's American Pub promotion for the season was initially only valid when Rodgers started for the Jets during the 2023 season. Will it continue now that he's out for the year?

"We need to talk about it," said Jack's operations director, according to Bayatpour.
