(AP) -- Aaron Rodgers was just fine sharing the spotlight with the Green Bay Packers defense.

Thrilled, actually.


If the Packers now can field a dependable defense along with their trademark high-octane offense, they just might be unstoppable.


The Packers (9-0) remain the NFL's lone undefeated team - not that Rodgers is quite ready to ponder the possibility of a perfect season.


Rodgers threw four touchdown passes against a fierce Vikings pass rush, Randall Cobb returned a punt 80 yards for a touchdown and the Packers defense contained Adrian Peterson and the Minnesota Vikings in a 45-7 victory on Monday night.


"It's (our) best game, because of the margin of victory," Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. "And at the end of the day, it's about points."
