"I'm going to stay away from sustainable" - Aaron Rodgers gets cryptic about Packers' chances despite win vs Cowboys
The Green Bay Packers and Aaron Rodgers had one of their best games of the season this past Sunday as they defeated the Dallas Cowboys 31-28 in overtime. Still, the Packers quarterback isn't confident of his team continuing to be this effective in the remainder of the season.
In the victory, Rodgers threw for over 200 yards and three touchdowns while the team rushed for 207 yards and a touchdown.
The Packers also rallied from a 14-point deficit to force the game to overtime, where they won 31-28 in an all-around team performance.
Despite their offensive success, Rodgers isn't too confident that the team can sustain the same offensive success for the rest of the season.
When asked by a reporter if the improvement Green Bay showed in offense was sustainable, Rodgers couldn't answer the question (via Pro Football Talk).
“I don’t know. Sustainable has become one of those words that gets said a little bit too much, I think, this year. So I’m going to stay away from sustainable."
“There’s no sigh of relief, there’s no weight of the world off my shoulders. The preparation stays the same, the focus stays the same, the expectations stay the same. But it was nice to play a more complete game on offense.”

Green Bay ranks 13th in total yards per game, averaging 352.3 yards a game while ranking 25th in total scoring, averaging just 18.5 points per game. Rodgers ranks right in the middle of the league in passing yards, averaging 223 yards a game. Packers' run game ranks 12th in the league, averaging 129.3 rushing yards a game.
The Packers will be back in action on Thursday night vs. the Tennessee Titans and will have a chance to show more sustainability early on in Week 11.
Aaron Rodgers' Green Bay Packers host the Tennessee Titans to kick off Week 11
After a big Week 10 victory over the Dallas Cowboys, the Green Bay Packers will kick things off tomorrow night as they host the Tennessee Titans.
Luckily for the Packers, the Titans have given up the 10th most yards per game (357.7). However, they also give up just the eighth-lowest points per game (18.7).
Interestingly enough, the 4-6 home team Packers are three-point favorites over the 6-3 Tennessee Titans. According to ESPN, 57 percent of fans currently have the Packers winning.
A third-straight win for the Packers would be crucial, and if they put on another great offensive performance, Aaron Rodgers may finally consider their success sustainable.
