ASHBURN, Va. – They worried about the matchup before the final game, knowing that despite what the stats suggest, Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers remains dangerous. He still is, after all, Aaron Rodgers. He can still make throws others can’t make. He can still extend plays. And he can still win games.
Hence, there’s concern.
“He’s got unbelievable ability,” Redskins defensive coordinator Joe Barry said.
Yes, Rodgers certainly has that and, even in what’s considered a down year, he’s still thrown 31 touchdown passes and only eight interceptions. He’s averaging a career-low 6.88 yards per pass attempt, a function of receivers not getting free downfield.
