The 2020 NFL season is turning out to be a nail-biting affair. Aaron Rodgers-led Green Bay Packers were the latest to succumb to a shock loss at the hands of NFC North rivals, Minnesota Vikings, on Sunday. The Packers won the reverse fixture in Week 1 with a comprehensive 43-34 scoreline.

However, Kirk Cousins and his determined Vikings teammates held on to register a rare 28-17 win at Lambeau Field. This was only their second win of the 2020 NFL season.
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur will feel that there were a few positives to take away from this loss. But veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers had his fair share of complaints from today’s disappointing showing.

36-year-old Aaron Rodgers woke up feeling deadly on Sunday. The two-time NFL MVP threw for 291 yards with three passing TDs. However, he could not prevent his team from losing their second game of the season.
Despite a strong individual display, Rodgers was clearly not happy with certain referee decisions from today’s loss against the Vikings. In fact, Rodgers dropped the ‘F-word’ before the referee threw a DPI flag on fourth and 9 for an apparent hold on Elgton Jenkins.
