‘Madden’ simulation: 40 Matt Ryan clones vs. 40 Aaron Rodgers clones

The only NFC Championship preview that matters.

The MVP race between Aaron Rodgers and Matt Ryan could be decided by a coin flip, but where’s the fun in that? Instead, let’s make the call on a field filled with 40 of each golden-armed superstar.

For months now, Aaron Rodgers has put the entire team on his back in order to get into the playoffs -- now they’re in the conference championship game. His teammates have gotten banged up along the way, so it’s only fair to pair him with the only group of guys Rodgers can actually trust: himself.

On the other side of the ball, Matty Ice has been on fire all year, leading Atlanta to a first round bye and throwing touchdown passes to 13 different receivers. Let’s have some fun and make that number 14, as we give Matt Ryan the chance to haul in his own passes and show everyone that he doesn’t need Julio Jones or Taylor Gabriel.

Who will win and put the finishing touch on an MVP season? Check out the Madden simulation to find out!
