Packers CB Charles Woodson on Julius Peppers’ hit on QB Aaron Rodgers – “I’m surprised he got the helmet to helmet. He’s taken a few of those over the course of the season and doesn’t get the call. He is a tough guy man, and he wants it just as bad as anybody else. So we knew he wasn’t going anywhere.”
