Aaron Rodgers is having a rollercoaster of a season thus far. The Greenbay Packers QB seems to be in the most inconsistent form of his career. Post a stellar performance in upsetting the Cowboys, Rodgers struggled against the Tennessee Titans. 

The Packers lost their contest to the Titans. Rodgers threw for two touchdowns but, it clearly wasn’t good enough in their 17-27 loss to the visiting team. 

Smiling through the pain

Aaron Rodgers announced in one of his interviews that he was not playing his hundred per cent. He picked up his injury against the Giants and it’s been with him ever since. The Packers lost their game to the Giants early in October. Leading to this game, they were 3-1.

Ever since they have gone on a 1-6 run. The 2020 and 2021 MVP not being available at his best definitely has a coincidence with the Packers’ poor form.

While he hasn’t been sidelined for any of the games, he hasn’t recovered fully due to the hits and tackles he has faced in the games he has played since.

Aaron Rodgers drops the bomb

In his recent showing on ‘Pat McAfee’s Show’, Rodgers did allude to this incident. McAfee, who is used to seeing Rodgers throw straight spirals for a living, was shocked to see Rodgers speak of his poor throwing after the game. “My thumb is what it is. It’s been an issue since the Giants. Not an issue that I’m going to rely on for an excuse,” said the experienced quarterback.

He went on to say that his thumb wasn’t an issue when they beat the Cowboys, so it definitely couldn’t be an issue in their loss to the Titans, where he was a little short of his original self. “I mean I’ve broken other fingers in the past. I’ve played a season in college at stretch with my index finger broken,” said Rodgers when asked about his thumb situation. The NFL community suspected a broken bone situation for Rodgers, but his statement here didn’t reveal the full scenario. However, he did mention playing with broken fingers in the past, which means he could have actually broken his thumb.

This update will come in as a big blow for Packers fans as they take on the in-form Eagles. Hower Rodgers did mention that even though it might hurt, he was willing to step on the field and show up as long as he can throw the pigskin. While he is showing character off the field with these statements, Packers’ fans will want their QB to show the world why he was MVP for the last two years when they travel to Philadelphia.
