NFL 2019: Aaron Rodgers was at his destructive best in Week 7

Aaron Rodgers had a strong season with the Packers last year. The Super Bowl XLV champion threw for 4,460 yards and 23 touchdowns against three interceptions. Rodgers had a pass completion rate of 62.6. He led them to the NFC Championship game as well.

However, the highlight of Rodgers’ 2019 season was the Week 7 encounter against the Oakland Raiders (Las Vegas Raiders). The one-time Super Bowl MVP had a slow start to his season last year until the game against the Raiders. The two-time NFL MVP led the Packers to a 42-24 win over the Raiders in that Sunday afternoon game.
