Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been recognized for his big game Sunday against the 49ers with the NFC offensive player of the week award.

Rodgers completed 21 of 30 passes for 298 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions in the Packers’ 34-16 win.

Rodgers had a 61-yard touchdown pass to Donald Driver and a 57-yard touchdown pass to Greg Jennings, making him the second player with two 50-plus-yard touchdown passes in a December game at Lambeau Field. (The first was Brett Favre in 1998.)

The win over the 49ers was Rodgers’ fifth straight game without an interception -- something Favre never did.
