Sunday Superstars: NFL Week 7 cardboard icons include Aaron Rodgers, Marvin Jones Jr., Chase Edmonds, Dalvin Cook & more
There were no holes in his game.
That's a cheesehead joke so don't take it too literal -- even though it's true -- Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers had a day during a 42-24 win over the Raiders. How big? He had a part in every TD scored for his team on Sunday, completing 25 of 31 passes for 429 yards and five TDs -- and he added two carries for six yards and one more score, too. All of his passing TDs went to different receivers and he also made a mark in the overall record book as he reached 350 TDs in just his 172nd game.
That's the fastest pace in NFL history as Drew Brees had held that pace record at 180 games. The prices of Rodgers' early cardboard should make it obvious in some instances that he's easily among the all-time greats statistically -- though there are some bargains to be found with his 2005 Rookie Cards. He sits at ninth on the career passing TD list at 351 but with five other active guys ahead of him (also a sign that NFL offenses have changed in recent years). Fun unrelated QB fact: Did you know Tom Brady is just 12 TDs shy of tying the NFL record? So, watch for that this season -- and you need to watch all of the cards for guys at the top of this list. Cheaper early Rodgers cards are worth picking up.
