He didn't play Friday night after head coach Mike McCarthy said earlier in the week that he'd seen enough from Aaron Rodgers' primary backup against the Packers. Rudolph completed 10 of 11 passes for 93 yards in that game. McCarthy looks pretty smart after Howard's struggles in this one. Any questions that Rudolph is the reliable backup this team needs behind Rodgers have likely been put to rest.

Rudolph's strong Packers game and McCarthy's confidence solidify his backup role.

Rudolph completed 10 of 11 passes for 93 yards against the Packers and did not play Friday night after head coach Mike McCarthy said he'd seen enough from Aaron Rodgers' primary backup. McCarthy's decision to sit Rudolph while starting QB Will Howard threw two interceptions in Jets territory signals confidence in Rudolph as the reliable backup the team needs behind Rodgers. Any questions about whether Rudolph is the reliable backup have likely been put to rest.
