Did the Buccaneers and Panthers create the blueprint to contain Aaron Rodgers?

By any standard, Aaron Rodgers is enjoying one of the most remarkable seasons in his slam-dunk, first-ballot, future Hall of Fame career. Through the first 14 games of the season, Rodgers, at age 37, leads the league in touchdown passes (40), touchdown percentage (8.4), low interception percentage (0.8), quarterback rating (118.0), QBR (83.5), Adjusted Net Yards per Attempt (8.66), and only Patrick Mahomes ranks higher in DYAR and DVOA.

In a season that began with Rodgers and many Packers fans expressing dismay at the franchise’s selection of Utah State quarterback Jordan Love with the 26th overall pick, and no real reinforcements for a questionable receiver corps outside of Davante Adams, Rodgers has thrived in head coach Matt LaFleur’s offense, which features motion and play-action concepts designed to befuddle every defense it faces.
