It’s hard to deny that Wilson had one of the best seasons by a quarterback in NFL history. He led the league in touchdowns and passer rating while throwing a career-low interception total. Wilson also rushed for a career-high 586 yards and three touchdowns. All of this resulted in Wilson being named the NFC Offensive Player of the Year.

They’ve made the playoffs six times, won four division titles and one conference championship, and they’ve appeared in two Super Bowls. In Wilson’s eight seasons as the Seahawks’ starting quarterback, they have never had a losing record.
Wilson has been one of the most productive and efficient quarterbacks in the NFL since he entered the league. He ranks second in career passing yards per attempt (8.23), third in career passing touchdowns (208), fourth in career touchdown percentage (6.6%), fourth in career interception percentage (1.8%), fifth in career passer rating (103.1) and sixth in career QBR (70.5).

Aaron Rodgers
Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is the favorite to win NFL MVP this season. He’s led the Packers to a 10-3 record and has thrown for 4,299 yards, 40 touchdowns, and just seven interceptions. Rodgers is also the leading candidate for the Offensive Player of the Year award.
Green Bay Packers
The Green Bay Packers are a professional American football team based in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The Packers compete in the National Football League as a member club of the league’s National Football Conference North division. They are also the third-oldest franchise in the NFL, dating back to 1919, and are the only non-profit, community-owned major league professional sports team in the United States. Home games have been played at Lambeau Field since 1957.
The Packers are the last of the “small town teams” which were common in the NFL during the league’s early days of 1921 and 1922. Founded in 1919 by Earl “Curly” Lambeau and George Whitney Calhoun, the franchise traces its lineage to other semi-professional teams in Green Bay dating back to 1896. Between 1919 and 1920, the Packers competed against other semi-pro clubs from around Wisconsin and Michigan. They joined the American Professional Football Association for the 1921 season as Calhoun was still recovering from an injury he suffered when he was thrown through a plate glass window while helping break up a fight between Cubs players Harry Steinfeldt and Fred Merkle on October 3, 1920. Lambeau proposed that he take over as head coach himself for that season; however, Packers president Andrew Bursley refused that offer and instead hired Mike Michalske as head coach for 1921. Michalske guided an undefeated Packers team to a 10–1–2 record that year; however, after starting off their 1922 campaign with two losses, Michalske was fired on October 16 after a 42–0 home loss against Detroit favoring former player Lavvie Dilweg over him as head coach.
