The Green Bay Packers are going to need Aaron Rodgers playing his A-game if they want to beat the Seattle Seahawks and make a deep run in the playoffs.

Rodgers was good during the regular season but at times he wasn't great, and that probably won't be enough. So can he get it done? Let's look at 3 burning questions surrounding the Packers quarterback.

3. What if the running game doesn't have success?

The Packers have leaned heavily on the running game this season, so what happens if the Green Bay struggles running the ball? The Packers' last loss came against the San Francisco 49ers and it was a game where the running game didn't have much success.

Aaron Rodgers couldn't overcome it, which led to the blowout loss. If there is no running game in this matchup, he better be able to overcome it or the Packers' season is going to be cut short.

2. Will Rodgers take over if things aren't going well?

This season, Aaron Rodgers has done a good job of sticking to Matt LeFleur's system and it has led to the Packers to a lot of success. The Packers haven't been tested a lot this season though, and what happens if they are in this game.

What if the Seahawks jump out to a 10-0 lead and Rodgers isn't happy with the calls LaFleur is making? Will he try to take over the game and start calling his own plays at the line of scrimmage or will he trust his coach to get the job done?

Rodgers might think that's what's best to do, but he and LeFleur have worked together and he can't ruin it now. He needs to trust the coaching staff even if they fall behind.

1. Can he make some of the throws he has been missing?

Aaron Rodgers, Packers

Aaron Rodgers has made a lot of impressive throws this year but there have been other throws he has missed that he didn't in the past. Often on the deep throws, he is off by only a few inches. That isn't a lot but it's the difference between the Packers scoring a touchdown and the ball falling incomplete.

In this game, Rodgers needs to be more accurate and make sure he is hitting on those throws. This game looks like it should be close and that could be the difference between advancing and watching the NFC Championship game from his couch.
