In the middle of the fourth quarter Sunday, when the Green Bay Packers were well on their way to obliterating the Minnesota Vikings 41-17, the most worrisome edition of Aaron Rodgers surfaced for the NFC playoff field.
The Packers quarterback took a snap at the Vikings’ 2-yard line with 9:32 left in the game, faked a handoff and rolled to his right, giving up another 7 yards of depth. A hole opened in the right side of the Minnesota defense, offering Rodgers an opportunity to put the play on his shoulders and run for a touchdown.
