Our kryptonite would be our OL. If we didn't have those guys also giving him the time to throw and maintaining their blocks on those extended plays, Rodgers would be running for his life or he'd be as black and blue as Bradford.

The reciprocal argument is that Rodgers probably saves our OL from 2-3 sacks a game. How many times does he duck under or avoid a guy that looks like he has Rodgers dead to rights? How much does the fact that some teams play to contain him in the pocket with their DEs reduce the number of sacks? That might be one of the most amazing things about Rodgers. Teams actually throttle back on their pass rush from the outside to make sure that Rodgers doesn't get out of the pocket. Instead, they'd rather have one of the top 10 QBs of all time stay in the pocket and pass.

Rodgers' kryptonite (and most QBs kryptonite) is pressure up the middle.

Many Packers fans also will enjoy that Chicago's Mitchell Trubisky scored a 63.0, the worst in the division.

Minnesota Vikings QB Kirk Cousins led the division in touchdowns with 30 and completion percentage at 70.1. Trubisky led the division in interceptions with 12, one more than Detroit Lions QB Matthew Stafford.

Rodgers led the division with 4,442 total yards, had 24 touchdowns and two interceptions last season. Bears backup QB Chase Daniel, who started two games, had the same number of interceptions as Rodgers.
