NFL Power Rankings, Week 8: Rams finally end losing streak by blowing out Falcons

4. Green Bay Packers (5)

If there were any football fans still wondering if Aaron Rodgers has lost his touch with the Green Bay Packers, Sunday’s win over the Oakland Raiders was the perfect example of how dangerous the Green Bay Packers star can be when on top of his game.

At times this season, Rodgers has received some surprise criticism, and part of the reason was due to the fact that many wondered if the future Hall of Famer could get along with Matt LaFleur as his head coach, for whatever reason.

After watching the Packers hand the Raiders a 42-24 loss in which Rodgers found the end zone a total of six times (one rushing) while throwing for 429 yards in the process shows there’s no reason for concern with these two.

Back in the offseason when Green Bay decided to hire LaFleur as their new head coach, it was his previous success working with other great quarterbacks such as Matt Ryan and Jared Goff that made it seem like Rodgers would benefit in a big way.

If Sunday is any indication of what the future has in store with these two working together, the Packers are going to be difficult to defeat in the NFC, although Green Bay still faces the difficult challenge of playing in a tough division in the NFC North.
