On Monday, I posted about Peyton Hillis' surprising lead over Aaron Rodgers in the "Madden NFL 12" cover vote. Well, after my post, Hillis' support actually rose, and the Browns running back looked to be a lock as the semifinal winner.
But not so fast.
Looking at the numbers provided to me by the editors over at SportsNation, Tuesday has been all Rodgers, as the Super Bowl MVP has started to close the gap.
And what was once a 59 percent to 41 percent lead has been trimmed to just 56-44. A significant comeback for Rodgers, who has until Monday morning if he wants to stop Hillis from pulling the upset.
Want to make a difference in the Rodgers-Hillis race? Head to SportsNation and cast your vote now for the "Madden 12" cover.
