Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers are fresh off of a big 30-16 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. Even though things got a bit tight down the stretch, the team was still able to pull out a win to improve to 9-3 on the season. So, before we talk about Aaron Rodgers’ future with the team, let’s delve into how well he has played.
So far this year, Rodgers has been performing like an MVP. He is currently being talked about as a top-two MVP candidate alongside Patrick Mahomes. Through the first 12 games of the season, Rodgers has completed 68.9 of his pass attempts for 3,395 yards, 36 touchdowns, and just four interceptions. Those numbers come after an offseason full of criticism from the fans and media.
Following the big win over the Eagles, a massive goal was revealed about Aaron Rodgers" future plans. In Sunday"s win, he threw his 400th career touchdown pass and he wants to build on that in an impressive way moving forward.
“I"m going to see if I can get to 500 before I throw 100 picks."
