Aaron Rodgers and the Packers are a win away from reaching the playoffs. And that could be a scary sight for the elite NFC team that could see them when the playoffs begin. Safid_Deen breaks down Green Bay's late season surge.
A 4-8 start, marred by a five-game losing streak, and it looked like Rodgers was at the end of his road as one the NFL’s most elite quarterbacks. And it looked like the Packers, mainstays in the playoffs the last three seasons, were out of it in October.
Rodgers’ abilities were questioned, and some pondered if it was time the Packers give backup Jordan Love the keys to the offense. When the Packers were 3-6, Rodgers was confident they could beat either the Cowboys or Titans. They beat Dallas.Rodgers believed the Dolphins game on Christmas was a “wild card.” But they won in Miami.And with two games left, in their home building, with his reputation winning games in December and January, Rodgers was steadfast in his belief in both himself and his teammates.
Two drives later, the Packers defense came up big as safety Darnell Savage intercepted a tipped pass and returned it 75 yards for a touchdown to help Green Bay take an early 14-3 lead. It was the perfect cushion for Rodgers and the Packers offense. And before the Vikings knew it, the Packers scored 41 unanswered points with five scoring drives on offense that included a touchdown pass and touchdown run for Rodgers.
