Quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been named the NFCโ€™s Offensive Player of the Week, as he threw for 304 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions in the season-opener against the Saints.

It marked the ninth time in 53 career starts, including playoffs, that Rodgers put together a 300-yard/three-TD/no-INT game. Thatโ€™s the most of any quarterback in the league since the beginning of the 2008 season, when Rodgers took over as Green Bayโ€™s starter.

As an aside, here's an interesting side note from the guys at numberfire.com:

"Tom Brady put up a huge stat line this week, throwing for 517 yards and 4 TDs," said Sean Weinstock, one of the site's partners. "While impressively large, Rodgers had Week 1's most efficient passing performance (27 of 35, 312 yards, 3 TD), meaning that in the time Rodgers was on the field, he helped his team more than Brady. Rodgers' offense added 0.44 points, above average, per play; Brady added 0.37 points per play. So if, for example, Rodgers and Brady were both involved in 50 passing plays, the Packers would have scored 22 points while the Patriots would have scored 18.5."
