GREEN BAY – The Packers are still nine wins away from matching their undefeated start from four years ago, but in just four weeks they may have already won in more different ways than the offensive juggernaut of 2011.
“We can win games on defense. We can win games passing for 200 net yards. We can win games running the football as many times as we throw it,” quarterback Aaron Rodgers said on Wednesday.
“That’s a great balance you’re looking for.”
The Packers rank third in the league in rushing yardage and 21st in passing yardage, as opposed to third in passing and 27th in rushing four years ago, which helps to make Rodgers’ point.
