   Cincinnati Bengals
2. Minnesota Vikings

   Kansas City Chiefs
2. Dallas Cowboys

1. Atlanta Falcons
   Dallas Cowboys
2. Green Bay Packers

Rodgers sat on the bench behind Brett Favre for three years. Now in his early 30s, he's setting the league on fire with his amazing passing skills. He was named MVP in both 2011 and 2014, and the Packers will dearly miss his playmaking abilities following a devastating collarbone injury.

1. Cleveland Browns
   New York Giants

1. Oakland Raiders
   Denver Broncos
2. Baltimore Ravens
