It's safe to say that Aaron Rodgers does not enjoy playing in Tampa Bay.
The Green Bay Packers' star quarterback said Raymond James Stadium's turf is at fault for his recent calf injury.
Rodgers played through the entirety of the playoffs with the injury and was hobbling when forced out of the pocket during the NFC Championship Game against the Seattle Seahawks.
"The calf was, in my opinion, due to the poor surface in Tampa," Rodgers said Thursday on ESPN Milwaukee radio. "Tampa is where I hurt my shoulder as well, back in 2008, and I think that there needs to be looked at some more uniformity as far as the field conditions."
The 31-year-old was named NFL MVP for the second time in his career, after throwing 38 touchdowns against a mere five interceptions.
"I think there's a couple of surfaces that are more likely to create injury than prevent injury," Rodgers said. "There's some incredible surfaces in the NFL. There's some ones that I think need to be looked at. Tampa is one of them because of the amount of play, I think, that happens there.
"When you put down so much sod and it's very uneven and soft, I think it can lend to more injuries. I've played there three times and been hurt there, in my opinion directly related to the field, twice."
Green Bay and Tampa Bay do not play in 2015, but it could be a contentious issue the next time the two teams square off.
