Rodgers gets 7th Pro Bowl nod in Packers’ playoff-less year

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — A lost season coming to a close without a trip to the playoffs for the Green Bay Packers is ending in a familiar spot for Aaron Rodgers. He’s headed to the Pro Bowl for the seventh time in his career.

“Yeah, I think there’s a lot of pride with that. Especially knowing the struggles early in the season with my health, and I’m very appreciative,” Rodgers said Wednesday.

It has been quite the winding road for the Packers and their franchise quarterback since the season-opening win in September against the Chicago Bears.
