4. Aaron Rodgers, 2011

The Green Bay Packers started the 2011 season with 13 straight wins and finished the regular season with a 15-1 record, losing only at Kansas City in Week 15.

They couldn't transfer their regular season success to the postseason, though, getting bounced in the Divisional Round by the eventual Super Bowl Champion New York Giants.

Aaron Rodgers finished with 231.30 Passing NEP, the fourth-highest total since 2000. But it was the second-best total of 2011. His 0.43 Passing NEP per drop back is the third-best mark since 2000 among quarterbacks making at least 250 drop backs.

Jordy Nelson led Green Bay with 68 catches for 1,263 yards and 15 touchdowns. Rodgers finished the season with 4,643 yards and 45 touchdowns, the sixth-highest single season passing touchdown total of all time.
