Each week in the NFL, there are players that impress and players that distress. One week a certain quarterback might toss four touchdowns and run around pointing skyward, while the next he’s laying on his back, holding his facemask as the other team returns one of his three interceptions for the game-winning score. With that in mind, here’s Studs and Duds for Week 12.
Studs
Aaron Rodgers, QB, Green Bay (28 of 39 passing, 348 yards, 3 TDs): Since Rodgers got Week 12 started early on Thanksgiving Day (and since Drew Brees can’t be on the list every week), he claims the top spot. Packers wide receiver Donald Driver deserves at least half the turkey leg, though, considering he hauled in seven of Rodgers’ 28 completions for 142 yards and one touchdown. Rodgers has now topped the 200-yard passing mark in all but two of Green Bay’s games, and he has eight multi-TD games. If that Brett Favre guy ever retires for real, people will really start to appreciate the Pack’s decision to keep Rodgers.
