1. The Power of a legend: Aaron Rodgers

He once told people to relax. He also said his team could run the table. Rodgers says it, then does it. You have to respect that, and guess what, the legend is bringing his talk and talents to Dallas to stink up the Cowboys’ Cinderella story.

Coming out of a 38-13 win over the New York Giants, Mr. Rodgers tossed four touchdown passes along with 362 passing yards. But that is not all.

Rodgers is on fire. Since losing four straight games between October 30th and November 20th, the 33-year-old has whipped up seven straight wins. His quarterback rating in those six games were:

• 116.7 at the Eagles

• 108.9 vs the Texans

• 150.8 vs the Seahawks

• 87.0 @ the Bears

• 136.6 vs the Vikings

• 126.0 @ Lions

He recently finished off the Giants with a 125.2 quarterback rating and a 83.0 QBR.
