Colin Cowherd: “Maybe Aaron Rodgers hasn’t been lucky his whole career, but he’s gotten EVERY break this year. He wanted the coach fired: BOOM, he’s gone. He wanted the team to spend money on defense: BOOM, they did. Chicago and Detroit imploded in the NFC North. He got home field and a bye, and now gets injured riddled Seattle without their running game. And if Minnesota upsets the 49ers they get the Vikings at home. They got to face the AFC West and didn't even have to face Patrick Mahomes. And they also faced the NFC East, which was the worst division in football. Green Bay is the healthiest NFC team left. The excuses are done and this is the year for Aaron Rodgers. This year has been PAVED for the Green Bay Packers.” (Full Video Above)
Listen to Colin Cowherd explain why he thinks Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers have had one of the most fortunate seasons of any contending team in the league, and why the Packers need to bank on the unexpected fling of fortune.
Rodgers finally got the head coach he wanted, the running game he wanted, the defense he wanted, the division imploded, the schedule opened up, a playoff bye was delivered to them on the season’s final day, and arguably the NFL’s most dangerous team, New Orleans, was already knocked out in their bracket in exchange for injury-riddled Seattle.
