Aaron Rodgers and Super Bowl MVP

Super Bowl XLV: With game on his shoulders, Rodgers delivers a gem

The Green Bay Packers' fourth Super Bowl title will forever be remembered as the one where quarterback Aaron Rodgers put the team on his shoulders and carried it to victory.
If there were still people who questioned whether Rodgers is among the elite quarterbacks in the NFL, he made a believer of them with a performance that was nothing short of brilliant.
Rodgers was named the game's Most Valuable Player after throwing for 304 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Packers to a 31-25 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday night at Cowboys Stadium.
"He's the best quarterback in the NFL, man," Packers defensive end Ryan Pickett said. "He just showed everybody. He just showed why he's special."
Rodgers completed 62 percent of his passes and didn't throw an interception in 39 attempts to finish with a passer rating of 111.5, the third time in four postseason games that he topped the century mark.
He spread out his 24 completions to eight receivers, including two touchdown passes to Greg Jennings and another to Jordy Nelson.
"We put this game on his shoulders," Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. "From an offensive game plan standpoint, he delivered."
