With all of ' talk about energetic goal setting, positive thinking and manifesting his dreams into reality this year, a victory at Lambeau Field and a Super Bowl berth felt like a certainty. In what will likely be his third MVP season, Rodgers played like a man on a mission. He felt unstoppable at times, and his teammates picked up on that confidence and carried it with them.
Though Rodgers approached this season with a different attitude, ultimately the Packers achieved the same result. They lost their fourth of four NFC title game appearances since their last Super Bowl appearance in 2010.
