When the Cowboys schedule was released and it showed the Cowboys were going to play the Brett Favre-less Green Bay Packers, I was not impressed. It just wouldn't be the same. For years it was Favre vs Troy Aikman, and then it was Favre vs Romo. Rodgers vs Romo didn't exactly sound like a heavyweight matchup. Well, I was wrong.
Sunday night will see the league's two hottest quarterback's face off in a early season battle for NFC supremacy.
While Tony Romo has been his usual impressive self, completing 72 percent of his passes, Aaron Rodgers has played just as well. In leading the Pack to wins over Minnesota and Detroit, Rodgers has thrown for 506 yards and four touchdowns, while completing 70 percent of his throws.
The Cowboys won a shootout with Green Bay last November in Dallas, but it must be remembered that after Rodgers replaced an injured Brett Favre, the Cowboys were outscored 17-10. Rodgers shredded the Cowboys defense for over 200 yards.
Sure, Favre's not here for this one, but two good quarterbacks will still be on the field.
