The Green Bay Packers, with HC Matt LaFleur and QB Jordan Love, are soldiering on without Aaron Rodgers this season and things seem to be looking up as they have a chance to rise above .500 with a victory tonight. Aaron Rodgers’ other former Packers HC Mike McCarthy has the Dallas Cowboys on top of the NFC East and tied for the best record in the NFL. Dan Beyer and Kerry Rhodes, in for Doug today, try to understand why guys like LaFleur, Love and McCarthy have seen their fortunes improve after they ditched Rodgers.
Dan Beyer: “Everybody who has left Aaron Rodgers is winning right now...you see Mike McCarthy doing great in Dallas, you see the Green Bay Packers now starting to take off with Jordan Love...the absence of Aaron Rodgers has also allowed these parties to flourish.”
