1. Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers

It’s hard for the league to be surprised by a performance from Aaron Rodgers, especially as he usually puts up great numbers each and every week. That being said, he only played the first half and a small portion of the third quarter to put up one of the best games of his NFL career. Green Bay ended up clobbering the Chicago Bears by a final score of 55-14.

Rodgers completed 18 of 27 passing attempts for 315 yards and six touchdowns, while also not throwing a single interception. Needless to say, the Packers took advantage of the Bears’ poor defense and Rodgers was finding his receivers downfield for big games. Green Bay has been inconsistent this season, but they look like legitimate contenders when the play like they did last night.

That being said, Rodgers was absolutely amazing on the night and led his team to a much needed blowout victory. Green Bay will need him to continue playing at high level moving forward if they want a chance to beat out the Detroit Lions for the NFC North division title.
