For Aaron Rodgers, a second Super Bowl ring seems to be just a stone’s throw away. And that’s because the quarterback has now been to back to back NFC title games only to make it over the final hurdle to book a Super Bowl berth. 

Last season it was the Tampa Bay Buccaneers who halted his progress and the year before that were the Seattle Seahawks. But last season will hurt Rodgers more.

There was a small window for Rodgers to make a run for but instead, he decided to throw the ball. But Buccaneers linebacker Devin White feels there is no way that the QB could’ve completed the run for the endzone.

And in that trailer, White is referring to the Rodgers play by saying the Packers QB would never have been able to make the play.  

“That play they said he could have run? I’m standing right there in the endzone. Do you think Aaron Rodgers can beat me to the endzone? No, sir,” said White.
