The Green Bay Packers have had a lot of success with franchise quarterback Aaron Rodgers who will enter the playoffs still at a hundred percent despite all the sacks he received in the regular season.
In a report by ESPN, Rodgers was reported to have been sacked 46 times in 16 regular season games, and five of those were from their season closer versus the Minnesota Vikings.
"Yeah, I'm all right," Rodgers said, according to ESPN, following the loss to Minnesota which ended Green Bay's dominance in the National Football Conference (NFC) North.
"I'm proud of the fact I was able to start all 16. It's a goal every year. We're all banged up at this time of year, but a normal week will definitely help with the healing process," the 32-year-old quarterback added.
Despite all the sacks in the regular season, Rodgers still had a total of 347 completions for 3,821 yards and 31 touchdowns, also throwing eight interceptions.
As Rodgers continue to perform at a high-level, the Packers are still looking to build for the future. Last Tuesday, the team signed rookie quarterback Ryan Williams to a reserve/future contract that will make him available for the 90-man offseason roster, 247 Sports reported.
As the Packers' offense looks to be ready for Sunday's Wild Card Playoff game, the Washington Redskins added a player that will help stop Rodgers and company.
Ahead of the matchup versus Green Bay, NFL.com reported that the Redskins signed cornerback Cary Williams, who, before being signed, had stops with the Tennessee Titans, Baltimore Ravens, Philadelphia Eagles, and the Seattle Seahawks.
The Redskins saw defensive players like rookie defensive back Kyshoen Jarrett and cornerback Dashaun Phillips go down to injuries in last Sunday's win over the Dallas Cowboys; that is why the addition of Williams is helpful to the team.
The Wild Card Playoff game between the Packers and Redskins this Sunday will be played at FedExField.
