Green Bay Packers star quarterback Aaron Rodgers believes he’ll be just fine for two more games on his calf.
Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers were able to pull off a huge 26-21 victory over the Dallas Cowboys yesterday afternoon. There was a lot of drama surrounding Rodgers’ calf throughout the entire week leading up to the game, but he was able to put up big numbers and lead his team to a win.

Green Bay is now looking ahead to their next matchup with the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC Championship game.
Once again, there is concern surrounding whether or not the Packers will have Rodgers throughout the entire game against Seattle. He is going to have to come through with a big game for the Packers to move on to the Super Bowl, and he talked about his health moving forward.
“I think I’ve got 120 minutes left in me so I’m going to do everything I can to make sure I can play all those minutes,” he said.
Rodgers has put together one of the best seasons of his career this year. He threw for 4,381 yards, 38 touchdowns, and just five interceptions. Yesterday against the Cowboys, he threw for 316 yards and three touchdowns despite the injured calf.
The Packers definitely have a chance to knock off the top-seeded Seahawks this week, but it is going to take a big game from Rodgers. If he is unable to play the entire game or cannot move around at all, the Seahawks defense will capitalize and blow the Packers out.
It is going to be a fun game to watch, and both teams are going to bring a chip on their shoulders. Green Bay is playing much better football this time around than when the two teams met in Week 1, and are looking to get some revenge. Rodgers is going to be tested, and if his calf holds up then the Packers could very well shock the Seahawks and move on to the Super Bowl.
