But football is also a game of momentum.
Fox Sports NFL insider Jay Glazer says Sunday’s Cowboys vs. Packers (Fox; 4:40 p.m) may come down to the hottest player in the NFL: Aaron Rodgers.

The Packers QB has run off seven straight victories, including Sunday’s 38-13 win over the Giants.
Rodgers took apart the highly regarded Giants secondary without star WR Jordy Nelson, who was injured early in the game.
The Cowboys should be worried the red-hot Rodgers will “gut” them the way he gutted the Giants, said Glazer on FS1’s “Speak for Yourself” with Colin Cowherd and Jason Whitlock earlier this week.
On ESPN2’s “Mike and Mike in the Morning,” Jon Gruden agreed that Rodgers is the “last guy” the Cowboys want to see in Dallas. But Gruden noted that Dak Prescott “ripped” apart the Packers in the Cowboys’ 30-16 win at Lambeau Field earlier this season.
