The Lions rank third worst against the run in the NFL, which means quarterbacks haven't had to pass against them. That's good for a 6.1-yard average and puts him on pace for 426 yards, which would be the most of his career by far. He continues to make plays with his feet. So he may not throw for a bunch of yards, but he'll make it count." He'll run, but with the cannon he has, he'll extend plays, and when guys keep running, he'll launch it 70 yards downfield. "A lot of guys try to extend plays with the run. "They're efficient, and Aaron Rodgers can extend plays like no other," Carey said. Rodgers has still thrown for 19 touchdowns and only three interceptions while leading the Packers to a 6-2 record.

Lions veteran safety Don Carey isn't fooled by any of it. He's also on pace to throw for fewer than 4,000 yards for the first time over 16 games. Rodgers is on pace to attempt 504 passes, which would be his fewest over 16 games. Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers averages 242.1 passing yards per game - the fewest of his career as a starter.
