Aaron Rodgers might be the infamous poster boy of the NFC North, but on Sunday, the Lions turned out to be a real test. Not only did they receive a once-in-a-lifetime bragging opportunity, but their fans also got to see how low the Packers could go this season. This was, arguably, Rodgers’ worst performance since 2008, and his opponents were clearly enjoying watching the quarterback screaming out of frustration.

Aaron Rodgers conceded three interceptions on Sunday and connected for one touchdown in the second half, trailing 8-0 by the end of the second quarter.
