The Packers remain unbeaten after a high flying shoot out in San Diego which came down to an interception by Charlie Peprah. Peprah wrestled Phillip River's late pass out of the air during the final seconds of the fourth quarter to end River's final drive to tie the game before regulation. Phillip Rivers threw over for 385 yards, four touchdowns, but he also had three costly interceptions of which two were returned for scores. Final score: 45-38 Packer Win.
Aaron Rodgers had another career day as he passed for a season low 247 yards, but connected on four scoring passes and rushed for over fifty yards as well. He completed 21 of his 26 attempts (80.8%) which was also another great day in the accuracy department. It also had to be noted that A-Rod threw TD's to four different receivers during the course of the game. He has spread the ball around equally in a way that does not single out any player as a particular threat.
San Diego's defense held up it's reputation as a formidable team and gave the Packer's their worst passing yardage this season as well as slowing our more mediocre run game. Aaron had two or three passes over twenty yards and one big bomb to Jordy Nelson for 64 yards which was close to shutting down a high-octane offense which prides itself on the big play. He also resorted to using his feet on many occasions in scrambling behind the line or running with the ball which is reminiscent of his strategy against a powerful defense like the Chicago Bears. That being said, Aaron performed admirably and completed throws in mid run which were simply spectacular. Once again he not only beat the blitz, but many times used it to his advantage.
It's just one of the many ways that Aaron Rodgers has dominated during this season.
Gabe Lagarde.
Nice job on matching the engaging style of writing. The last paragraph was unnecessary though because your blog is about Rogers and you brought up another player who we don’t know about.

Am I really reading a blog? It feels like I'm reading Sports Illistrated. Only problem I have is it's a bit disorganized at the end but I think you already know that by now. Great job.
