Here's some trivia for you as we all await for the Super Bowl 2011 online on February 6.
When the Packers lost Ryan Grant in the beginning of the year Aaron Rodgers knew he had to step up. And he certainly did. But no one expected much from the committee of backs Green Bay would use.
Brandon Jackson, John Kuhn, and James Starks total yardage equals 1,085. Rashard Mendenhall, the power back for the Steelers, rushed for 1,273 yards, a career high.
The committee of three had their moments of key plays throughout the year. Starks leads all running backs with 263 yards during the playoffs. Kuhn and Jackson were crucial on key third down plays throughout the season keeping many drives alive for the Packers.
However, Rashard Mendenhall has been a vital piece to the success of the Pittsburgh Steelers. He rushed for a career high 13 touchdowns this season.
Mendenhall is critical to the balanced game plan the Steelers play. He sets up the play action and knows how to protect his quarterback.
Which do you want America? A work horse, or a committee of three?
