Aaron Rodgers Refuses Claim That Detroit Lions’ Defense Played the Main Part In Packers’ Loss

It is a tricky spot for the Green Bay Packers. They are going through a crisis of wins and have been struggling this season. Aaron Rodgers and company faced yet another setback at the hands of the Lions. Several cheeseheads would observe it was the doomsday of the team. But an optimist Packers QB1 does not think that the rivals’ defensive army had a prime role in their loss.

Aaron Rodgers made his regular Tuesday appearance on The Pat McAfee Show. He shared his thoughts after coming off a historic loss at the hands of their divisional rival at Ford Field, Detroit. AJ Hawk asked the QB1 about Detroit’s defense and if they had a vital role in defeating the Bays. But A-Rod had contrary beliefs.

Aaron Rodgers mentioned, “Look, no disrespect. They did play great. I mean, they had we had you know, 40 yards offense on a mood ball up and down the field. That’s your interception off the helmet into interception about five yards, sort of, Dave. I mean, it wasn’t like, you know I didn’t play a great game.”

“We still made a lot of mental mistakes, but I don’t think that really stopped us with three possessions in the first half and went up and down the field. So yeah, you know, it’s more about us, I think than them,” He added.

In the game, the quarterback completed 23 of 43 passes for 291 yards with a touchdown and three interceptions. Green Bay is second in the NFC North with 3-6. However, making it into the playoffs appears to be a tough ask.

A celebrity Packers fan is furious over Aaron Rodgers

After the back-to-back losses, Green Bay is in a chaotic situation. Aaron Rodgers is currently in uncharted terrain after the Packers lost their fifth game in a row. The Wisconsin fanbase has every authority to be angry over the team’s situation. Franchise superfan Lil Wayne also vented his frustration. However, he felt the team should’ve parted ways with the QB1.

Lil Wayne poured his anger on Twitter after the Packers’ loss to the Lions. He paid condolences to the franchise’s season and said they should’ve gotten away from Jersey no. 12, Aaron Rodgers. The franchise’s injury plague in the offensive corps has led to their downfall in the season.

It is yet to see if Rodgers and company can pull a comeback in the season.
