6. Green Bay Packers

Hanging on to a 20-7 lead heading into the fourth quarter made it seem like the Green Bay Packers were going to cruise to another win against a team in the NFC North, only this time it would be the Minnesota Vikings. Instead, the Packers allowed the Vikings to put together an impressive comeback in the fourth quarter before sending the game into overtime.

Never in a million years did anyone expect Green Bay and Minnesota of all teams to end up tying when looking at how intense this rivalry has been in recent years, but that’s exactly what ended up happening on Sunday. Sure, the Packers can beat themselves up over all of the missed opportunities, but at the end of the day, the team should just be happy that Aaron Rodgers is able to continue showing he can play after that Week 1 scare.

In a way, it’s kind of amazing to see Rodgers continue to lead the offense the way he has since the quarterback seems to be playing better than most players at his position. Green Bay learned the hard way last season what this offense looked like without Rodgers, and here’s to hoping he can continue to stay healthy to keep them in a great position for the NFC.
