“How is That Holding?” – Packers Quarterback Aaron Rodgers Unhappy with NFL Officiating
Follow Us
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.
