Aaron Rodgers

Coming off back-to-back victories over two of the NFL's worst teams, the Green Bay Packers are carrying more confidence into Sunday's rematch with Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings. They are missing a couple of targets in their passing game, though. The Packers dominated in Sunday's 31-3 victory at Cleveland, one week after their 26-0 dismissal of Detroit.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — A 47-year-old Green Bay man has been arrested for stealing a temporary street sign named for Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Green Bay police Lt.
