This may reportedly be Aaron Rodgers' final season with the Green Bay Packers. If that is to be true, Rodgers has certainly made this season one for the books.

On top of the drama that has unfolded about him lying about being unvaccinated, he is currently playing with a fractured toe, and the Packers are the number one seed in the NFC.

Rodgers has always been competitive and stated that he would be professional in his final season and now allows his inevitable exodus to be the focal point of the season. That being said, the Packers will certainly return to the playoffs.

Here are the top five potential playoff matchups for Aaron Rodgers and the Packers.

Which potential playoff matchup is most exciting for Aaron Rodgers and the Packers?

#5 - Green Bay Packers vs. Dallas Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys have been going through some heavy ups and downs in their season, but Dak Prescott remains one of the best quarterbacks in the entire league. The same could be said for Aaron Rodgers.

The matchup could provide a look into a gunslinging showdown with both quarterbacks airing it out on either other's secondaries.

The Cowboys defense and Trevon Diggs could make things that much more difficult for Davante Adams, Aaron Jones and Marquez Valdes-Scantling.

The same could be said for the Packers with Rasul Douglas, who has logged back-to-back pick-sixes. This will be an exciting matchup all around.

#4 - Green Bay Packers vs. San Francisco 49ers

The San Francisco 49ers appear to be well on their way to a wild-card playoff berth. The team has certainly turned things around and could find their way into the playoffs and play the higher seeds should they make it past the wild-card round.

Jimmy Garoppolo and Deebo Samuel vs. Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams would be a sight to see.

Both of those duos are some of the best in the entire league, and this game could turn into a back and forth touchdown affair. This potential playoff matchup might not be so much about defense but about who can outscore who.

3 top potential playoff matchups for Aaron Rodgers and the Packers

#3 - Green Bay Packers vs. Los Angeles Rams

The Los Angeles Rams have already lost to the Packers and Aaron Rodgers. The final score of 36-28 didn't exactly tell the whole story though.

The Packers were without Randall Cobb, Kevin King and Darnell Savage. The score might have been that much more one-sided had those players been able to play.

The Rams are still a good team, and their potential playoff meetup could be a revenge game of the highest degree. Revenge games in the NFL are some of the most exciting, especially those that happen in the playoffs.

This matchup might happen and could prove to be one of the best playoff games ever. If everyone is healthy, that is.

Rodgers vs Stafford would be exciting.

#2 - Green Bay Packers vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Green Bay Packers will have a lot to say about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who knocked them out of the NFC Championship a mere season ago.

Rodgers vs Tom Brady will always go down as some of the most exciting matchups ever, as both are gun-slinging football quarterbacks that are on their way out.

The Packers will look deep to beat their foes in a potential NFC Championship revenge game. With both teams being as stacked as they are, this could prove to be one of the most exciting games of the entire season.

The Packers aren't playing the Buccaneers in the regular season, so the playoffs would be the only time they could seek their revenge on the team that sent them home early.

#1 - Green Bay Packers vs. Arizona Cardinals

The Arizona Cardinals and Packers game will be as exciting as the first was. The Packers and Rodgers narrowly snuck away with a 24-21 victory the last time the two met, and that was when both teams were 7-1.

A miscommunication in the endzone led to Kyler Murray throwing a costly interception that sealed the deal for the Packers.

The Cardinals will more than certainly make it back to the playoffs, and with that, they will want their revenge on the Packers.

Kyler Murray is mobile and is a great passing quarterback that will be hard to contain for the Packers defense, and Rodgers and his receiving corps might be too much for the Cardinals secondary.

Either way, this game could prove to be the most explosive rematch in recent history.
