Aaron Rodgers enjoying the 'special moments' after recent win vs. Ravens

Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers are flowing in perfect chemistry as December comes to an end. It’s a storyline many didn’t predict during the tumultous offseason between the former MVP and the organization, yet the Packers’ find themselves in a familiar position once again.

Sunday’s win over the Baltimore Ravens clinched a third-straight division title for Green Bay, meaning head coach Matt LaFleur has accomplished the feat in all three seasons he has led the franchise.

It’s obvious how difficult winning in the NFL can be, and the Packers’ star quarterback took a moment after the playoff-clinching victory to soak it all in.

“You have to savor these a little bit,” Aaron Rodgers said, via Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com. “These are special. It’s just the first step in our goals, but a lot of times the coach speak — I’m not saying that Matt did this — but a lot of times there might be coach speak that takes over and says, ‘Hey, you know this is just one goal and we have bigger goals and stuff,’ but I think it’s important to keep that perspective on how special accomplishing this is three years in a row and so just to enjoy it, to savor it, savor these moments. These are special moments.”

Aaron Rodgers ties Brett Favre’s touchdown record

Greg Jennings caught Rodgers’ first touchdown 14 years ago in Dallas, and Marquez Valdes-Scantling caught No. 442 as Rodgers tied Favre. Rodgers did it in 45 fewer games as he set the mark in his 210th game (203rd as a starter), while Favre needed 255 games (and 253 starts) over 16 seasons.

Rodgers has also thrown 193 fewer interceptions in his career than Favre threw as a member of the Packers.

The third touchdown pass of the day from Aaron Rodgers, the record-tying No. 442, was an 11-yarder to Valdes-Scantling with in the fourth quarter to give the Green Bay Packers a 28-17 lead.

“I was like, wait, did we break the record, or did that tie it?” Valdes-Scantling said. “That’s what we were talking about when everybody was around me, that’s what we were talking about. Because that’s just a crazy accomplishment, and I definitely kept that football. That one’s not going anywhere. If it was broken, I would have gave it to him, but that one’s mine. That’s just a great accomplishment for him, and I just love that I’m a part of it.”

Aaron Rodgers and the Packers appear to be the most dangerous team in the NFC heading into the playoffs and the veteran quarterback continues to break records along the way.
