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.

“I will say this you know a guy who probably doesn’t get anywhere near the credit…He wears number 9 and plays in Detroit. That dude what he does with the ball, it’s impressive. It’s really, really impressive.

“And I, you know, I know Dan Orlovsky will highlight some stuff from time to time because they played together and they’re good friends which you should but that dude has thrown crazy no-lookers all the time,” Rodgers said on the show.
