GREEN BAY - The Green Bay Packers won eight straight games on their way to the NFC championship game in 2016 mainly because Aaron Rodgers got hot and carried them there.

But it’s also no coincidence the streak timed up with tight end Jared Cook’s return after he’d missed six games because of an ankle injury (they lost his first game back, then won the eight straight).

The point is, you don’t always have to be a great player to make a difference in the NFL.
