Yes, Peppers admitted, he let up a little bit on his shared sack of Rodgers in the fourth quarter of the Carolina Panthers' 31-24 win over the Green Bay Packers, telling ESPN.com that he wanted to “get the ball but make sure [Rodgers] didn’t get hurt.”
Not everyone will be so nice to Rodgers.
And it’s why Packers coach Mike McCarthy will have a difficult decision to make about whether to play his two-time NFL MVP quarterback or shut him down for the rest of the season if the Packers are eliminated from playoff consideration.
If Rodgers plays Saturday night against Minnesota, it would be a rematch with Vikings linebacker Anthony Barr, whose hit in Week 6 broke Rodgers’ collarbone. Chances are, Barr wouldn’t treat Rodgers the way Peppers did on Sunday at Carolina. Ya think? :o
