Simply put, Aaron Rodgers was phenomenal last night.

The Kansas City defense, led by 2014 sack leader Justin Houston, is one of the most respected in the NFL, but they couldn’t get anywhere near Green Bay’s talismanic #12 on Monday night.

In a game that the Packers won 38-28 at Lambeau Field (although it must be said that the score line was kind to the Chiefs), Rodgers completed 24 of his 35 passes, amassed 333 yards through the air (the first time Kansas City have given up over 300 passing yards since 2013) and collected 5 touchdowns. Plus, as ever, the Packers’ signal-caller didn’t give up an interception, as his incredible streak continued.

Naturally, Rodgers is receiving the accolades from the media and the fans, but his teammates were full of plaudits last night too, as they realise what they are seeing day in, day out.

Backup quarterback Scott Tolzien, who works with the reigning MVP more than anyone, struck up a mighty comparison, in his post-game comments to ESPN Wisconsin.

“I mean, to me,” said the five-year pro, in his third season with the Packers.

“it’s like watching Jordan in his prime. He’s at the top of his game. He makes it all go.”

Michael Jordan is one of the greats of North American sport, up there with the likes of Babe Ruth and Wayne Gretzky. The fact that Rodgers is being placed in the same category as the Bulls’ legend is testament to the level of play that he is showcasing each and every week.

Three games into the 2015 season, Rodgers is nigh on perfect, and it’s tough to see that ending any time soon.

Is A-Rod on the way to his second Super Bowl ring?

If he is, he will win it in Santa Clara, the home of the San Francisco 49ers.

Oh, how things could have been different…
