The hype machine was in overdrive last week and you would have thought that it was Aaron Rodgers versus Tom Brady locked in a steel cage match as opposed to a football game between the Green Bay Packers and the New England Patriots. The networks were committed to comparing two of the greatest quarterbacks of their generation and little else seemed to matter. But when the dust settled, the Patriots secured a 31-17 win and the Packers fell to a dismal 3-4-1 and are now third in the NFC North.
Time is running out on the Pack and the root of their problems lies in their inability to win on the road.
