Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers never actually went anywhere, but he's clearly back after his status as the game's most gifted passer certainly came into question over the last three seasons.
During Sunday's 37-30 victory over the New Orleans Saints at Mercedes-Benz Superdome, Rodgers pulled out all of his old tricks, easily out-dueled Drew Brees and helped Green Bay stake its claim as the NFC's best through three weeks of play.
To be completely fair, Rodgers previously butted up against an impossible standard he set during previous campaigns as a two-time NFL MVP with four seasons of 38 or more touchdowns between the 2011 and '16.
