It goes without saying that that’s no mean feat. Aaron Rodgers is looking like an MVP frontrunner right now, and the 12-3 Packers are still playing for first in the NFC with the Cowboys hot on their tails.

Rodgers has 16 touchdowns and no interceptions in his last five games, which includes the loss to the Vikings....
