A gritty Rodgers felt he could have done better against Detroit. But the top player admitted it is a collective failure. He was referring to his three interceptions in the Pat McAfee Show. “There is a lot that goes into all these things. And for somebody like a QB who has no idea what’s going on… I don’t really give a sh*t, to be honest. That’s sh*tty. Ball is up in the air,” a concerned superstar said while elaborating on the team game.

The dramatic loss against the Lions, which has probably had the worst defense in the league, has dealt a colossal blow to their playoff hopes. A nine-point, three-pick outing has also made the fans slam HC Matt LaFleur. In March, the 38 YO agreed on a four-year extension with the Packers. However, he is without his top weapon, Davante Adams. The absence of a top-level WR has impacted the superstar.
