Aaron Rodgers knows the Green Bay Packers, who have clinched the NFC's No. 1 seed, can't improve their playoff positioning with a win over the lowly Detroit Lions.
The reigning NFL MVP still wants to play Sunday at Ford Field, even though that would increase his chances of getting injured.
“There’s risk every time you take the field," Rodgers said. “There’s obviously the idea about rust compared to momentum."
The Packers (13-3) are closing the regular season strong with five straight wins, earning home-field advantage in the conference playoffs for the second straight year and winning the NFC North for the third season in a row.
