Pre-Sunday Quarterbacking

Now isn't this interesting. News from Packers.com:

Quarterback Aaron Rodgers is the Offensive Player of the Month for October, the NFL announced today.
  • Rodgers led the Packers to a 2-1 record and posted an NFL-best 123.9 passer rating during the month.
  • He passed for 988 yards in October and averaged a league-high 329.3 yards per game.
  • Rodgers completed an NFC-best 74.5 percent of his passes (70 of 94) during October and his 10.51 yards per attempt mark led the league.
  • He had a passer rating of at least 110 in all three games, including a near-perfect 155.4 mark in Week 7 at Cleveland, the highest single-game total in franchise history.
Rodgers has now posted a 110+ rating in four consecutive games, joining Pro Football Hall of Famer BART STARR (1966) as the only Packers to accomplish the feat. In his fifth season from California, this is Rodgers' first career Player of the Month Award. He is the second Packer to win a monthly award this year, joining CHARLES WOODSON (Defense, September). The last Green Bay quarterback to win a monthly award was BRETT FAVRE (November 2004).
Hopefully on Sunday the string will continue.
