Aaron Rodgers is undeniable.

The MVP candidate led the Green Bay Packers to their eighth consecutive victory on Sunday by defeating the Dallas Cowboys 34-31 in the second round of the NFL playoffs.

The Packers pulled out the victory when Rodgers found tight end Jared Cook near the sidelines with time winding down, setting up a game-winning field goal.

Rodgers has been on a tear of late, throwing for 24 touchdowns against just one interception since Week 11. He's also putting together a resume that puts him up against the best to ever play the game. Even his opponents can't deny it.

After the game, Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said Rodgers "will go down as one of the three greatest to ever lace them up," according to Ed Werder of ESPN.

He threw for 356 yards, two touchdowns, and the interception in the divisional-round victory, setting up a meeting between the Packers and Atlanta Falcons in next week's NFC Championship game.
