Chiefs wanted it more: Packers winning streak ends

Found December 18, 2011 on Packer Fans United:
PLAYERS: Aaron Rodgers,  Mason Crosby,  Marshall Newhouse,  Chad Clifton,  Bryan Bulaga,  Derek Sherrod
TEAMS: Green Bay Packers,  Kansas City Chiefs

Top 10 MVP Candidates Not Named Aaron Rodgers

Saying that Aaron Rodgers is the front-runner for the NFL‘s MVP award is like saying the Detroit Lions are the NFL’s most undisciplined team. Everyone knows it. Everyone accepts it. So there is really no reason to discuss it. Rodgers is just on another level. He is the sun and we are all just basking in his omnipotent glory.  The more interesting discussion comes when Rodgersâ...
