-- Even despite being eliminated from playoff contention and essentially left for dead in terms of the NFC playoff race, don't expect Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers to go down so quietly.
With a road trip to New York to face the Jets on next week's schedule, Rodgers wants to be the one at the helm of the Packers' offense. The same goes for the following week -- the season finale against the Detroit Lions at Lambeau Field.
Basically, Rodgers wants to start the Packers' final two games to close out the year.
"I'd like to be out there and lead us the last two weeks," Rodgers said.
