A hobbled Rodgers is still dangerous

Ask the Cowboys about Green Bay’s Aaron Rodgers, and it’s clear they think he’s pretty special.

“He’s been playing as well as anybody for a while,” Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo said of his Green Bay counterpart.

“He’s tough,” Dallas defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli crowed. “I admire that. He sits in there, and he throws rockets.”

At Lambeau Field, Rodgers has been almost flawless this season. He’s thrown 25 touchdown passes and no interceptions while posting an eye-popping quarterback rating of 133.2. But Rodgers will have to overcome a significant calf strain that has limited his practice time.

“I spend a lot of time with the trainers, a lot of rehab,” Rodgers said. “Just trying to continue to improve every day.”

On Sunday the Cowboys expect to see Rodgers in top form. “He’s going to bring his best effort every time,” defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence said.
