2. Rodgers’ weapons are ailing
Before we go any further, let me get one thing straight: Nobody’s going to get me to say anything negative about Aaron Rodgers. It’s just not happening. He’s easily the best quarterback in the NFL — sorry Tom Brady — and there’s no question that he can win this game all by himself.
That said, it’s not going to be easy.
As we already know, Jordy Nelson is out for the season, and both the Packers’ other starting wideouts, Randall Cobb and Davante Adams, have been dealing with injuries all season, too. They’re banged up, and if it wasn’t for Rodgers pinpointing the ball into triple coverage where only James Jones can grab it, most of America might realize it.
Right now, I’ll take Rodgers over literally everybody, but I’ll take the Broncos secondary over the Packers banged up wide receiving corps. Rodgers will win his fair share of battles, but if the Broncos can win the aerial war, they’ll have every opportunity to win the game.
