The 'Anthony Barr rule' stemming from his hit on Aaron Rodgers continues to reverberate

The comeback Aaron Rodgers orchestrated on Sunday night, both from his own left knee sprain and from the 20-0 deficit the Green Bay Packers faced against the Chicago Bears, have turned the eyes of the NFL's pundit class toward Lambeau Field in Week 2, as the league's juiciest storyline centers primarily on whether Rodgers will play Sunday against the Vikings.
