GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Aaron Rodgers didn't just show up at Lambeau Field on Sunday morning, give the game plan a once over, throw a DonJoy brace on his injured left knee and head down the tunnel.
Even one of the greatest quarterbacks of his generation needed a week of diligent preparation (most of it without much actual time on the practice field) combined with a knee-friendly game plan from a coach who knows his every move and, of course, all of his talents to pull off another performance for the annals in the 29-29 tie with the Minnesota Vikings -- a game in which Rodgers still managed to throw for 281 yards and a touchdown without a turnover.
