Who the Cowboys should be most worried about in Super Bowl pursuit: The Green Bay Packers

Quite frankly, there are very few quarterbacks in this league who should absolutely terrify an opponent in the postseason. There are many good, and even a few great quarterbacks, but then there is that group that can be on a totally different level when it matters most.

Enter: Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers.

First and foremost, let it be known that the Packers need a near miracle to make it into the postseason. They’re going to need a lot of help from teams like Washington, New York and Seattle. But, if the Packers win the rest of their slate and get some help, then they’ll find themselves in.

If they get in, look out. We saw what happened a few weeks ago when the Packers took down Dallas in an upset. Rodgers looked like he still had it. Of course, he hasn’t looked that way all season long and even in recent games. But, the guy is playing through a broken thumb and has said he’ll play so long as the Packers are still in it.

The Packers may have their flaws, but as long as Rodgers is on the field, they are always a threat. This is the perfect example of a team that just needs a chance. If Rodgers gets in, and sees the Cowboys again, Dallas should be worried.
