Aaron Rodgers has absolutely lit up the Houston Texans defense in Week 7 and he’s looked sensational in the process.

Whenever anyone tries to doubt Aaron Rodgers and his incredible abilities, the veteran quarterback makes those haters look foolish. Such is the case on Sunday, with the future Hall of Fame signal-caller putting on an offensive clinic against the Houston Texans.

At halftime, Green Bay took a 21-0 lead into the locker room against Deshaun Watson and Houston, with Rodgers looking dynamite. He and Davante Adams have been downright unstoppable, which is exciting for Packers fans following the Week 6 loss to Tampa Bay.

Aaron Rodgers is once again playing out of this world on Sunday against Houston

In the first half alone, Rodgers threw for 198 yards, three touchdowns and zero interceptions. Those are the numbers of a man who is playing motivated after he struggled tremendously against the Buccaneers last weekend.

To make things even better for Green Bay, Adams is back to his old self. In the first half, the Pro Bowl wideout posted eight receptions for 114 yards and a touchdown. Most wideouts dream of those stats at the end of the game, yet Adams was able to accomplish that in just two quarters of action.

When Rodgers and Adams are on the same page, it’s nearly impossible for any defense to try and contain the Packers. That’s been the case thus far for the Texans, who have no answers for the Green Bay offense. At the same time, how silly do all the Rodgers doubters feel right now?

Sure, he looked rough in the loss to Tom Brady and the Bucs, but did anyone really expect that kind of performance again in Week 7? Rodgers is throwing the ball around like he’s in his backyard on Sunday and the Green Bay faithful is loving every minute of it.
