GREEN BAY, Wis. – When Aaron Rodgers said two years ago that he thought the Green Bay Packers could run the table even though they sat at 4-6 with six games to play, his claim was not without merit.
The Packers quarterback had just gotten one of his weapons, tight end Jared Cook, back from an ankle injury. In the game before “run the table” became a thing, Cook caught six passes for 105 yards and a touchdown in his first action since Week 3.
He also had Jordy Nelson in his comeback-player-of-the-year season, Davante Adams in his breakout season, a new weapon in Ty Montgomery’s switch to running back and an effective edge rusher in Nick Perry who was on the way to a career-best 11-sack season.
