Aaron Rodgers
Besides missing an open Greg Jennings on a key drive late in the fourth quarter, Rodgers was nearly flawless once again on Sunday.

The one so terrible, it's probably responsible for Penn State's PR department. That’s why we...

Packers let blowout turn into a close call, again
Five Takeaways from Green Bay's 45-38 win over the Chargers:
1. Another win, but another close call
A 21-point lead with 10 minutes left in the game should not need to be won with a final-minute defensive stop, but that was the case for the Packers in San Diego. Aaron Rodgers threw his fourth touchdown of the game to take a 45-24 lead with 10 minutes to go, and it was all smiles...
