A performance to forget by Aaron Rodgers

The great Aaron Rodgers left a lot to be desired with his performance against the Lions. It is a performance he would want to forget very soon. The iconic QB threw just 291 yards in the game.

He threw just one touchdown pass against a defense that doesn’t have a great record of keeping the opposing offenses away from their end zone. Rodgers attempted 43 passes to his O-line but registered just 23 completions. Top it all off, the Lions’ defense intercepted three of his passes. Not a record an elite QB will want to see.

Rodgers hasn’t had a good season, and it shows in the Packers’ record. The team has won just three of the nine games they have played so far this season. The Packers last ended the game as a winning side when they defeated the New England Patriots in Week four-game.

Can Rodgers shrug off this performance and revive the Packers? And is this win the start of something for the Lions? Only time will tell.
