Aaron Rodgers has given extra tickets to Green Bay-area police officers for Thursday night's game against the Chicago Bears.
The Packers' star quarterback often sends fans on scavenger hunts for tickets prior to home games, but tweeted out that he's given them away this week to members of the police force.
To those waiting on the #rodgerstickethunt, I gave my tickets this week to police officers from the Green Bay Area. Enjoy the game! #

Earlier this week, Rodgers said the team will continue to link arms for the national anthem as a show of unity, and the Packers released a statement saying that there will be a number of people involved in the anthem ceremony.
The image you will see on September 28th will be one of unity. It will represent a coming together of players who want the same things that all of us do - freedom, equality, tolerance, understanding, and justice for those who have been unjustly treated, discriminated against or otherwise treated unfairly. You will see sons of police officers, kids who grew up in military families, people who have themselves experienced injustice and discrimination firsthand, and an array of others all linking together in a display of unity.
The Packers and Bears kick off just after 8:00 p.m. ET.
