In fact, Rodgers’ said their performance against Denver was one of the cleanest he can remember in some time.
Now this week, the Green Bay offensive front will have another tough test this time led by Fletcher Cox and Brandon Graham of the Eagles. However, much like with Bradley Chubb and Von Miller of Denver, the Philadelphia defensive front hasn’t seen much in terms of production.
