Aaron Rodgers and the rest of the Green Bay Packers offense ran away with the win against the Chicago Bears, but at the same time left a stat sheet that would have one believing the Packers lost in a route.

If you opened up the paper or in today’s times your browser and read a stat sheet that contained the following: Chicago was 7-of-11 on third down, 2-of-3 on fourth down, ran 77 plays to the Packers’ 47, outgained the Packers 496 yards to 358 yards, outrushed them 235 yards to 56 yards and won the time of possession by a margin of 36:22 to 23:38, you would ultimately think it was a massacre.

It was solely what Aaron Rodgers did with that 23:38 time-of-possession coupled with the always-reliable moments from Jay Cutler that allowed the Packers to send the Cubs back to their den in a 21-point defeat.

Cutler had two early fumbles that he eventually turned into big plays that made it seem as if the sun was shining solely on the Bears. However, just as Rodgers had told the fans to R-E-L-A-X, the Pack took their chill pill.

Rodgers and Jordy Nelson continued to show why they are the best one-two-punch in all of the NFL. The two connected 10 times for 108 yards and 2 touchdowns. In my own opinion, I would have to place Jordy Nelson at the top of my MVP Ballot, if I had a vote that is.

The Packers still looked very weak when it came to both stopping the run and blocking for their own run game. This is an aspect of the game that must improve before the weather worsens.

During the last two games there is one stat, well maybe two that absolutely jump-off-the-page. Last week Green Bay held Calvin Johnson to only 82 yards even though he was able to haul in 6 balls. On Sunday Green Bay held Brandon Marshall to 2 receptions for only 19 yards.

Pretty impressive given the pass-rush is still not up-to-par.

I have to take this time to hand out a Get-Off-My-Back-Award, which goes to A.J. Hawk. He may not record a sack and he may never get an interception but he is leaps-and-bounds above every other player on this squad when it comes to tackling. He may have the Bryce Harper syndrome when it comes to keeping his helmet over his ears, but he gets it done.

The Packers only have three days to get ready for a home game against the Minnesota Vikings.

Minnesota hung 41 points on the roller-coaster of a team in the Atlanta Falcons this week. Rookie quarterback Teddy Bridgewater went for 317 yards passing and the team netted 241 yards on the ground without Adrian Peterson.

One thing is for sure – the league has definitely attained parity. The Packers must listen to and rely on their Captain – Aaron Rodgers.

Over the course of a whole season there will be times of panic but the main thing to remember is to R-E-L-A-X.

After all, number 12 has this thing.
