Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers kicked off a Most Valuable Player season with the best individual performance of Week 17
There were great performances on the last day of the regular season of the NFL. In fact, there were some individual performances that we didn’t include this time, and that would have been part of our list in a week of lean cows.
In addition, there was more than one who raised his hand to keep the place of honor, including two runners from the AFC enabled who surpassed 250 ground yards with two touchdowns to ensure the presence of their respective teams in the postseason.
However, the favorite to take home the biggest individual prize that is handed out at the NFL –for the third time–, he was also the best in the individual during the closing of the season.
There are several names worthy of receiving votes for the award Most Valuable Player for the 2020 season at the NFL. However, and after the Week 17 display, all the arrows point to Green Bay.
Rodgers confirm this afternoon against the Bears, with a performance of 19 complete 24 attempts for 240 yards-four touchdowns without interceptions, living one of his best moments as a quarterback NFL.
If other seasons of Rodgers they had left us speechless, the year 2020 far exceeds in many ways what it has done in the past. Today was his closing game of the year with six passing passes, and five of those without throwing interception. In fact, today was a 12 match in the year in which he did not deliver the ovoid via interception, although it must also be said that Chicago he forgave him on a couple of occasions.
Either way, the Packers are the best team of the National conference, According to post-season planting, and no one did more to place them there than Rodgers. Week by week, at No. 12 has delivered a season of revitalization that not many expected from the future member of the Hall of Fame.
The most important thing is that Rodgers it makes those around you shine, and it’s hard to put a price on that. Without being a star, Márquez Valdés-Scantling is already a known name, Robert Tonyan was tied in the leadership of the NFL in touchdown catches by closed wings, and today until Dominique dafney he took his touchdown. Who knew the Packers they had a player named Dominique dafney?
the Lombardi it is far away, yet, and we know there are no guarantees. but when Rodgers and the Packers they conquered the super Bowl in the 2010 campaign, we took it for granted that he would not retire with just one ring. This 2020 is your best chance in many years to add the second.
