Packers Still Can't Win A Close Game
Sadly, Aaron Rodgers record in media-defined close games (4 points or fewer) remains a terrible 2-13.
Thank God the Packers were able to absolutely destroy, dominate and humiliate the Eagles by 5. It was nice to not have to worry about the outcome of this one.
I don't know whether this applies to Rodgers or not but i do believe that "clutch" exists for QB's in football and is not mythical the way it is in baseball. FO even had some research that backed this up a year or two ago. I believe McNabb was the most "unclutch" QB over past 10 years in terms of being worse in potential game-winning drives than over the rest of his career, which definitely lines up with alot of the criticism of him /eagles and why they're generally overrated (win lots of blowouts but lose the close ones). Anyway i think i'll be betting on GB this week but that stat scares me a little, hopefully its just a small base size thing (McCarthy vs Smith scares me more).
