          GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Since 2010, no player has captured one of the NFL's player-of-the-week awards more often than Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

          On Wednesday, he was named the NFC's offensive player of the week for the 10th time since 2010. It was the second time he has taken home the honor this season.

          Why did Rodgers win the award this time?

          Take your pick:

          • In Sunday's victory over the Carolina Panthers, Rodgers had as many touchdowns (three) as incomplete passes on the way to a 255-yard performance that equated to a 154.5 passer rating, the second-highest of his career and the third-best rating in Packers' history for a quarterback with at least 20 attempts.

          • It was Rodgers' fourth game in a row with at least three touchdown passes without an interception. Tom Brady, who did it in 2007, is the only other player in NFL history to pull off that feat.

          • It was also Rodgers' sixth straight game without an interception. That tied Bart Starr's team record set in 1964. Rodgers has not thrown an interception since Week 1, a stretch of 192 attempts -- his career-high and the second-best streak in team history behind only Starr, who had 294 attempts between interceptions in 1964-65.
