Aaron Rodgers on pace for career-high passing yards, best passer rating since 2014

After eight games in a brand new offense, including four without his Pro Bowl receiver, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is on pace for one of his most statistically efficient seasons in years.

Rodgers is second in the NFL with 2,324 passing yards and on pace to throw for 4,648 yards, which would set a new career-high. His current 106.7 passer rating would be his highest since the 2014 season, his last MVP season.

Rodgers is also averaging 8.2 yards per attempt, 12.6 yards per completion and 8.0 adjusted net yards per attempt. All three would represent his best marks since 2014.

Rodgers has 16 touchdown passes, tied for the second-most in the NFL. He’s on pace for 32, but he’s thrown 10 of his 16 touchdown passes in the last three games.

The last two weeks have been peak Rodgers. In wins over the Raiders and Chiefs, Rodgers completed 75 percent of his passes, tossed eight touchdown passes and zero interceptions, averaged 11.5 yards per attempt and posted a passer rating of 152.0.

Losing Adams has done little to slow the Packers quarterback. In fact, Rodgers and coach Matt LaFleur had the offense clicking in the month of October, when the Packers when 4-0 without Adams.
