Packers Overcame Vikes Despite a Jekyll and Hyde Pass Attack

Robert Lewis Stevenson published the gothic novella titled The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in 1886. Dr. Henry Jekyll battled between the good and evil within himself, with his alter ego being the mysterious and violent Hyde.

Jekyll, in the form of Aaron Rodgers, came out and in the first 16 minutes against the Vikings completed 10 of 11 throws for 141 yards, two passing touchdowns – and a perfect 158.3 passer rating. It resulted in a 21-0 score.

For the remaining 44 minutes, however, Rodgers transformed into Hyde: 12 completions in 23 throws, for 68 yards – and a passer rating that had to be less than half of that 158.
