Green Bay Packers: Is Aaron Rodgers the GOAT?

It’s all over now.

This will be the ninth time since the 2002 regular season that an NFC South team has reached the conference championship. He’s in some select company – he earned his place Sunday night in Arlington. Now they’ve gone two games beyond that and are one game – against the second-seeded Atlanta Falcons on Sunday at Atlanta – from going back to the Super Bowl for the first time since the 2010 season.

Aaron Rodgers reportedly doesn’t want his family situation to spiral out of control.

There is little doubt the offenses (and the quarterbacks) are the stars in the NFL’s Final Four, which will kick off with a doubleheader Sunday afternoon. The Packers played from the lead essentially for the rest of the game, which was their best chance of protecting coordinator Dom Capers’ undermanned defense.

While some people who follow the Green Bay Packers might not be familiar with quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ girlfriend, Olivia Munn, is an established actress. Jordan Rodgers and his parents all skipped Aaron’s huge playoff game on January 15, and in a new interview, his father revealed that the family is “hoping’ they can somehow mend what’s apparently broken”. In the Packers’ 34-31 win over the Dallas Cowboys, Rodgers put the Packers in field goal range in the final moments on a quick pass to tight end Jared Cook. “Some of the plays he makes are just – they’re just phenomenal”. In 2016, rumors were rampant about the reasons for Aaron and Jordan’s lack of contact as Jordan pursued a relationship with JoJo on The Bachelorette, but the new NY Times interview with patriarch Ed finally gives some insight into the dynamic. That’s really the best way to sum up this classic. He has every reason to feel that way: The Packers offense has scored 30 or more points in six straight and overcome several key absences. Pittsburgh were 12th, Green Bay 22nd and Atlanta 25th. Rodgers kept making sure Cook got credit over and over for making the catch. You never know who might have to make that play for the Packers to advance. Thirty-five seconds didn’t seem like enough time for magic, but it was enough time, because this was Rodgers, and this was another game in a two-month ride during which he has been the greatest quarterback of all time. His stat line was excellent.

Dak Prescott delivered a 40 yard strike to Dez Bryant over LaDarius Gunter and Dan Bailey’s 33 yard field goal pulled the Cowboys to within 21-13 at the half.

“We’re still going, and that’s the exciting part”, he said after throwing three touchdown passes in a 36-20 win over Seattle.
