The Packers bet on the team they built around Aaron Rodgers, and they're on the verge of being proven correct

Last spring, the Green Bay Packers bet that they had enough — enough wide receivers, enough blockers, enough pass rushers. Enough of everything that they could maximize the talents of their veteran/aging quarterback and win the Super Bowl without an impact first-round pick.

We’re about to find out if they were correct.

The Packers defeated the Los Angeles Rams 32-18 on Saturday and will host the NFC championship game next Sunday against either New Orleans or Tampa Bay.

They did so with that first-round selection, quarterback Jordan Love, standing on the sideline.
