After falling just short of the NFC Championship game last January, the Green Bay Packers are anxious to get back to work and make another playoff run–especially with a healthy Jordy Nelson in the lineup.

The Packers have been cruising through preseason with a 3-0 record following a 21-10 win over the 49ers as Aaron Rodgers saw limited action and completed 6 of 9 passes for 60 yards with one touchdown. As long as the future Hall of Fame quarterback doesn’t suffer any serious injuries, Rodgers should find his name in consideration for the MVP award when the time comes, but the road to a division title certainly won’t be easy.

Minnesota emerged as the surprise winner of the NFC North last year and appears determined to make another run with one of the league’s top defenses–which means Rodgers and the Packers will have quite the work cut out for them.
