2. Rodgers comes up with a cool 350 yards with 3 TDs

Despite the fact that the Green Bay Packers lost to the Colts last week, that can’t be put on the shoulders of Aaron Rodgers. The quarterback has been playing at an MVP level this season, completing 68.2 percent of his passes for 2,889 yards and 29 touchdowns with only four interceptions. And the matchup against Indianapolis wasn’t any different.

Rodgers completed over 71 percent of his passes against Indy and threw for 311 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. Furthermore, he orchestrated the game-tying drive for a field goal, driving 86 yards in only 1:22. And had it not been for a Marquez Valdes-Scantling fumble in the extra frame, everyone in the building believed he was about to drive for the win.

While the Bears defense is littered with talent, much of that talent does not reside in the secondary. Furthermore, that unit keeps getting gassed by an ineffective offense putting them onto the field without rest. That’s why Kirk Cousins and Drew Brees, neither of whom has been a star this season, both put up over 280 yards passing on the Chicago D.

Rodgers is on another level than those guys right now and he’ll showcase it on Sunday Night Football. Making it look easy and utilizing all of the weapons at his disposal, the future Hall-of-Famer will hit north of 350 yards and find the end zone a trio of times.
