Aaron Rodgers is a pretty sensitive guy. Maybe not quite as sensitive as his interview on “60 Minutes” made him seem, but a caring and compassionate person nonetheless. Rodgers showed off his sensitive side yet again recently, as the Green Bay Packers quarterback teamed up with the MACC — Midwest Athletes Against Childhood Cancer — Fund to help raise awareness for the work they do for kids with cancer. On his first adventure with MACC, Rodgers visited a girl named Maggie, who was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor as an infant. Rodgers surprised the young Packers fan with a visit to her home and spent part of his day with her. During the visit, Rodgers chatted with the young girl and signed some autographs, but he also had some fun. The 28-year-old quarterback reverted back to childhood for a little while, sporting a tiny cowboy hat, jumping on the trampoline and even dunking on a basketball hoop (dude’s got ups). While the reigning NFL MVP’s only foray into emotions on the football f...

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers looks down the field against the Lions on Sunday It was ugly but when it comes to winning division games, the Green Bay Packers will take any kind of victory.

M.D. Jennings caught the deflected pass, and there was no doubt about this interception. Then it was simply a matter of how far he could return it. ''The ball was tipped and I was in the right position to make a play on the ball,'' the Green Bay defensive back said. ''I saw a bunch of offensive lineman. I was like `Man, I can't let an offensive lineman...

Randall Cobb Leads Packers vs. Lions

Via Fantasy Football Champs  |  November 18, 2012
Randall Cobb led Green Bay in receiving Sunday with 74 yards on nine catches.Fantasy Spin:He hauled in the game-winning touchdown on a 22-yard strike from Aaron Rodgers with a minute and 55 seconds remaining in the game. It was Cobb's sixth touchdown in his last four games. At this point, we'd consider the second-year receiver a must-start.

Defense Developing into Decisive Unit

Via gnb.scout.com  |  November 18, 2012
The performance during the last five games has been a bit like the six-game run to a Super Bowl championship in 2010. Two years ago, Aaron Rodgers and the offense weren't great every week. It's the same story this year, but a young and improving defense has come to the rescue.

This Sunday the Lions welcome in the Green Bay Packers to Ford Field as Detroit looks to string some wins together in hopes of making a late season run at the playoffs. However this is certainly a Packers team that has found itself after a 2-3 start to the season.

Packers block Lions from division title race

It was a win the Packers needed for many reasons, and they got it. Now at 7-3 with a 2-0 record in the division, Green Bay -- with four more games remaining against the NFC North -- controls its own playoff future throughout the rest of the season. It also sends Detroit (4-6) into a nearly impossible situation of making the postseason, therefore turning it into a three-team race...
