The Green Bay Packers moved to 3-0 with a 27-16 victory over the Denver Broncos in Week 3. It was a hard-fought game against a desperate Denver team, but the Packers were able to get the job done. Aaron Rodgers and the offense had a better all-around game than they have had so far, but it still wasn't perfect.

Rodgers ended up completing 18 of his 30 pass attempts for 203 yards, a touchdown, and no interceptions. It wasn't his biggest individual performance, but it was enough to help the team get a big win.

In a quote shared by Packers.com, Rodgers made it clear that he is seeking “greatness” from this offense under new head coach Matt LaFleur.

“I want to play better,” Rodgers said. “I want to score more points. I mean, obviously you love having a defense, but I don’t take any satisfaction in having an ‘oh, OK’ performance. No, I want to have greatness out there.”

Green Bay's defense has been the driving force for them this season. That is something new for the fans, as they are used to seeing the offense powering wins under Rodgers.

Through the first three games of the season, the Packers have made a strong statement to the rest of the NFL. They want to compete for a deep playoff run, but in order to do so they will need Rodgers to play better. He hasn't played bad in any of the three games this season, but if the offense can take the next step, they could be legitimate Super Bowl contenders.

Expect to see an even more motivated version of Rodgers on Thursday night against the Philadelphia Eagles. It will be another chance for the offense to reach their full potential.
