GREEN BAY PACKERS: AARON RODGERS
In order to be the best, you have to beat the best, and that’s exactly what Aaron Rodgers and the Packers did on Sunday.
The Packers went into Dallas and came out with a 34-31 victory over the Cowboys in an NFC Divisional Playoff game that will go down as one of the all-time greats.
Rodgers was masterful, completing 28 of 43 passes for 356 yards and two touchdowns, while also running for another score.
It was a gutsy performance by Rodgers, who was playing on a tweaked hamstring that he suffered early in the game. But he battled through the pain and made some big throws when it mattered most.
The Packers will now head to Atlanta for the NFC Championship game next Sunday, where they will take on the Falcons.
