Aaron Rodgers Makes History on Way to Being Named NFC Offensive Player of the Week
Rodgers earned the honor for the second time during the 2014 season.
According to Randall Liu, the NFL's NFC Director of Football Communications, the league's Player of the Week Awards have been handed out:
NFC Offensive Player of Week 7: @Packers QB Aaron Rodgers. 10th career Player of Week Award (2nd in 2014)
— Randall Liu (@RLiuNFL) October 22, 2014
Rodgers completed 19 of 22 passes for 255 yards with three touchdowns and zero interceptions in a win over the Carolina Panthers this past Sunday. He finished the game with a near-perfect passer rating of 154.5.
The other time Rodgers was named NFC Player of the Week was for his performance in Week 4 against the Chicago Bears.
By posting his sixth consecutive zero-interception game, Rodgers tied the franchise record held by Bart Starr.
Rodgers also joined New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady as the only players in NFL history to register four straight three-touchdown/zero interception games in a single season.
With 18 touchdowns and only one interception, Rodgers became the first player in league history to throw at least 18 touchdowns and one or fewer interceptions in the first seven games of a season.
Despite being named as the NFC Offensive Player of the Week, Rodgers wasn't nominated for the league's Air Player of the Week award.
