Nearly a week since it reported estimate-crushing earnings for the fiscal third quarter of , shares of rare earth metals miner MP Materials NYSE: MP are marching higher on Thursday, rising 9.
MP Materials may not be the lowest-cost miner of rare earth metals, admitted Jefferies this morning in a note covered by StreetInsider. Dow Futures 35, Nasdaq Futures 16, The streak was the third longest in franchise history behind Bart Starr and Brett Favre Rodgers suffered a severe shoulder sprain in the game but continued to start and played well in a win against the Seattle Seahawks two weeks later which to many proved his toughness.
Despite early successes, Rodgers had been unable to win a close game during the season despite seven opportunities to do so. For the opening game of the regular season, Rodgers recorded his first win in a comeback situation when his team was trailing entering the 4th quarter when he made a fifty yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Greg Jennings with about a minute remaining in the game to help beat the Chicago Bears After getting off to a mediocre start to the season, and a devastating loss to the previously winless Tampa Bay Buccaneers , the team started to heat up.
Rodgers led the Packers to five straight wins, in which he threw for 1, yards, 9 touchdowns and only 2 interceptions. Rodgers and the Packers won 2 of their last 3 games, finishing the second half of the season with a record and an overall record; that was good enough to secure a wild card playoff berth and clinch the 5th seed in the playoffs.
Rodgers also made history, becoming the first quarterback in NFL history ever to throw for 4, yards in both of his first two years as a starter. His passing yardage was good for second all-time in Packers history behind only Lynn Dickey's all-time single-season record.
In his first action as a starter in the playoffs against the Arizona Cardinals, Rodgers first pass was intercepted by Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. However, Rodgers settled down after that miscue to finish the game 28 of 42 for yards with four touchdowns.
Despite the big game he had offensively, the Packers lost the game when Rodgers fumbled on the last play of the game in overtime, which was returned by Karlos Dansby for the winning score for a Cardinals victory.
It was the highest scoring playoff game in NFL history. He finished the day 15 of 19 passing with yards and two touchdowns, despite the NFC losing the game.
After leading his team to a 2—0 start in , the Packers lost three of their next four games including back-to-back overtime losses. The two overtime defeats brought Rodgers' record in overtime games to 0—5. During Week 12 against the Atlanta Falcons, Rodgers threw 35 passing attempts, putting him at 1, for his career — making him eligible for all official NFL quarterback records as recognized by the NFL. In Week 14 of the season, Rodgers sustained his second concussion of the season.
Backup Matt Flynn was put into the game as Rodgers' replacement. The Packers lost the game 7—3 to the Detroit Lions. It was the Lions first division win since , snapping a game losing streak against division rivals. Rodgers missed the next week's regular season start ending his streak of consecutive starts at 45, which is tied for the second longest in team history.
However, Rodgers turned around the team's performance, winning the final two regular season games against the New York Giants and Chicago Bears, both de-facto playoff elimination games. The Packers transitioned smoothly from the Brett Favre era to the Aaron Rodgers era, and they'll hope to do that with Jordan Love as well. Love is set to make his first career start on Sunday afternoon in the Packers' game against the Chiefs.
It will mark a big moment for the second-year first-round pick out of Utah State. That said, it also is a great reminder of the stability the Packers have had at quarterback. Love will become just the eighth different starting quarterback that the Packers have used in the last 30 seasons since Favre became the starter in No other team has used fewer than 12 since that time.
Meanwhile, Washington has had nine different starting quarterbacks in the last four seasons. So, Love is joining a pretty exclusive list on Sunday afternoon. Here's a rundown of the starters the Packers have employed since from the most to least starts made. Favre started the streak for the Packers when he took over as the team's starting quarterback during Week 4 of the NFL season. That marked Favre's first career start and also began the league's most incredible iron-man streak consecutive games started.
Favre made starts with the Packers. They were consecutive, and as a result, he was the only quarterback that Green Bay had to use from to Of course, Favre was a prolific quarterback as well.
He averaged 3, passing yards and 28 passing touchdowns per season during that span and led Green Bay to a record. Favre's consistency was the launching point of the Packers' streak, but his successor did a lot to make it continue.
Rodgers was Favre's backup for the first three years of his career. He was a first-round pick out of Cal in but for a while, it didn't seem like he'd ever get off the bench. Eventually, Favre retired and when he tried to come back, the Packers traded him to the Jets. Love will have the rest of the week to prepare to make his first regular-season start of his career in the hostile confines of Arrowhead. Rodgers, meanwhile, will spend it recuperating at home. Doctors told Russell Wilson he'd be out between weeks.
That wasn't going to fly for one of the NFL's most maniacal competitors. The 10th-year veteran veteran had never missed a game, much less multiple weeks. Wilson, as he's wont to do amid adversity, just worked harder. And it's sure to turn quite a few heads.
Dallas' banged-up pass-rushing unit has sustained another significant blow in the form of a calf injury to standout edge rusher Randy Gregory. The Cardinals managed to win on the road in Week 9 without a collection of key players, and they're getting one back in time for Week The Chiefs are not who we thought they were -- at least not yet.
