Even in down year, Packers' Rodgers remains dangerous

Leodis McKelvin meant no disrespect to Green Bay receiver Jordy Nelson, but when the Eagles cornerback assessed what makes Nelson such a dangerous target in the red zone, he offered a two-word answer:

"Aaron Rodgers."

The Packers will visit the Eagles on Monday night with a 4-6 record and a four-game losing streak. The Eagles are undefeated at home and their defense has stymied every quarterback who has come to Philadelphia, including Pittsburgh's Ben Roethlisberger and Atlanta's Matt Ryan. As four-point favorites, the Eagles should be optimistic about their chances. But the variable is Rodgers, the quarterback who has won one Super Bowl and two MVP awards and been named to five Pro Bowls.
