Rebounding from a clunker: Rodgers did it with aplomb each of these three seasons.


Back in '11, the Packers' 13-0 start ended at Kansas City in Rodgers' worst game of the year (17-of-35, 235 yards, one TD, no INTs, 80.1 rating). He came back seven days later to bury the Bears on Christmas night and clinch the No. 1 seed for the playoffs, going 21-of-29 for 283 yards with five TDs, no INTs and a 142.7 rating.


In '14, the Week 15 loss at Buffalo was a rough day (17-of-42, 185 yards, no TDs, two INTs, 34.3 rating), but he bounced back the following week to secure a playoff spot in a win at Tampa Bay (31-of-40, 318 yards, one TD, no INTs, 108.1 rating) despite injuring his calf.


This past season, the Week 6 outing at Tampa Bay was his worst statistically since that Buffalo game six years prior (16-of-35, 160 yards, no TDs, two INTs, 35.4 rating), but he turned right around a week later at Houston and got back on track (23-of-34, 283 yards, four TDs, no INTs, 132.4 rating).
