As snowflakes began to dot the Wisconsin sky, Aaron Rodgers walked off the victorious Lambeau Field and took a few moments to pump his fists and point his fingers to the roaring Green Bay crowd.
After two years of failing to even reach the postseason, Green Bay’s 28-23 victory over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday wasn’t just something that pushed them to the brink of the Super Bowl. It was a moment for Rodgers and his fans to appreciate how special nights like these are.
In terms of statistics, ability and sheer ways he can, and often does, beat opponents, there is a reasonable case to be made that Rodgers is the greatest quarterback, or certainly among the greatest, to ever play in the NFL.
