Cheese Curds, 9/12: Give some love to role players for Packers’ comeback

Sure, Aaron Rodgers got all the headlines for the Green Bay Packers’ comeback victory over the Chicago Bears on Sunday night, and for good reason. His wide receivers got the subheads for their contributions, which is also legitimate.

But now that we are three days removed from the game, it’s time to acknowledge the other role players who played critical roles in the comeback. There are players on defense, like Kentrell Brice, who deserve to be called out for excellent games. There’s also a running back who had little success on the ground but who was essential to keeping Rodgers from taking any big hits after his return.
