Aaron Rodgers caught throwing expletives
Even with the form they are in, the fans expected the Packers to win against the Lions in the game week nine matchup. The Packers were hoping to avoid the embarrassment of a five-game losing streak. But it was not to be.
Aaron Rodgers‘ lack of chemistry with his offensive line was evident as many of his promising drives failed to produce results. And thus, the frustration grew.
As one such drive ended in an interception, TV cameras caught Rodgers throwing an expletive-laden tantrum on the bench.

The Packers O-line is crying out for an elite induction. Many fans expected the Packers to move for a wide receiver before the trade deadline. But no such move materialized. Hence, both the Packers team and the team’s fans are gasping for air at the moment.

Aaron Rodgers left a lot to be desired with his performance against the Lions. It is a performance he would want to forget very soon. The iconic QB threw just 291 yards in the game. He threw just one touchdown pass against a defense that doesn’t have a great record of keeping the opposing offenses away from their end zone. Rodgers attempted 43 passes to his O-line but registered just 23 completions. To top it all off, the Lions’ defense intercepted three of his passes. Not a record an elite QB will want to see.
Rodgers hasn’t had a good season at all, and it shows in the Packers’ record so far this season. The team has won just three of the nine games they have played so far this season. The Packers last ended the game as a winning side when they defeated the New England Patriots in game week four.
