Aaron Rodgers has dominated the NFL calendar in 2021-22.
In the offseason, Rodgers' future with Green Bay — and whether he would retire or be traded — was a constant topic of conversation. In the regular season, Rodgers passed for 4,115 yards, 37 TDs and four interceptions and led the Packers to a 13-4 record and the top seed in the NFC. Rodgers is in line for his third NFL MVP award.
But what about the playoffs?
That is the big question heading into the NFC divisional round playoff matchup against the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday. Rodgers has enjoyed success through 14 seasons as the Packers' starter. The chase for a second Super Bowl appearance still remains, however.
