The Green Bay Packers had just one more win than the San Diego Chargers did in the regular season, though they also sneaked into the playoffs and ended up running the table.  With a 31-25 win over the Steelers in Dallas on Sunday, the Packers are now the world champions and have officially moved beyond the Brett Favre era.  In the game, quarterback Aaron Rodgers was nearly unstoppable, completing 24 of 39 passes for more than 300 yards and three touchdowns without throwing a pick.  But while Rodgers was throwing darts all over the field, his receivers were also not giving him much help.  Various Packers’ receivers dropped key passes that could have turned Rodgers’ good day into one of the greatest performances in Super Bowl history.

As it stands, though, Rodgers still pushed himself to the top of the league and was awarded the Super Bowl MVP as the only real choice for the award.  The Packers have their first championship since the mid 1990s and have a young and talented team that will likely be one of the favorites next season as well.  Rodgers, who has been criticized previously for not winning the big game, now is one of the elite signal callers in the league, placing him in the same breath as Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Drew Brees.
