The Aaron Rodgers-led Green Bay Packers endured a heartbreaking loss in overtime to Frank Reich’s Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. A last-gasp fumble from wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling allowed the Colts to score a field goal and win the game by a 34-31 margin.
Despite the loss, there were a number of positives to take home for the Packers. For instance, star quarterback Aaron Rodgers put in a fine performance in Week 11.
The 36-year-old veteran went 27 of 38, throwing for 311 yards with 3 touchdowns and just 1 interception. He remains in contention for the NFL MVP award alongside Patrick Mahomes, Russell Wilson, and Ben Roethlisberger.

Rodgers claimed that he threw a no-look pass to teammate Davante Adams on Sunday over Colts defender Darius Leonard. However, the media didn’t bother to show that replay for the simple fact that he plays for the Packers.
