Rodgers is Green and mean

-

THE NFL’s last unbeaten record has fallen after the Arizona Cardinals lost to the Green Bay Packers on Thursday night.

What we saw is Aaron Rodgers showing us again why he’s considered one of the greatest.

He took a team with their No.1 receiver, Davante Adams, ruled out and, with a gameplan, led them to victory. That’s what the Aaron Rodgers effect is – he can get it done in any situation.

With the improvemen­t of their defence, they’re right there to fight for a Super Bowl because we know what Rodgers (left) can do.

To show they have a way to win without Adams, that gives them a different approach if it isn’t working during a game.

The Dallas Cowboys are also looking great, but Dak Prescott has a little injury with his calf, so we want to keep an eye on that. If that bothers him and impacts them through the season, they’re in a lot of trouble.

That being said. Dallas are probably one of the most balanced teams in the NFL.

They had one of the best offences in the league last year, now they have the defence to match.

It will be hard to beat the Cowboys, but only if they have Prescott healthy and on the field.

For me, the game of the week is the Tennessee Titans vs the Indianapol­is Colts. The AFC South is always close and these are two teams going for the play-off spot.

The Colts have had a tough schedule but Carson Wentz has been impressive recently and Jonathan Taylor is one of the best running backs in the league.

The Titans are playing well right now but the Colts are strong on defence and playing well on offence. Last year, they were just missing a quarterbac­k and it’ll be hard to stop them with Wentz.
