GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Don’t get Aaron Rodgers wrong, he loves having a defense to back him up.
But the Green Bay Packers' quarterback doesn’t want to rely on that to bail out his erratic offense, as it has done time and time again during the team's 3-0 start.
For years, the Packers were viewed as a team that needed Rodgers to play at a near-Most Valuable Player level to win. Just because that wasn’t necessary in Sunday’s 27-16 win over the Denver Broncos at Lambeau Field doesn’t mean the two-time MVP is willing to accept that he doesn’t have to be, well, Aaron Rodgers all the time.
