Aaron Rodgers displayed why he is one of the top quarterbacks in the league on Sunday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

The Packers quarterback wasn’t ready to give up with his team trailing the Falcons by 24 points early in the fourth quarter. On a fourth-and-six from the Atlanta 33-yard line, Rodgers threw to wide receiver Davante Adams for a touchdown to make the score 34-16 (Green Bay failed on the two-point conversion).
