Amidst Struggling Offense, Aaron Rodgers Opens Up On Defensive Woes After Being Ripped Apart By Josh Allen And Buffalo Bills

Once again, Aaron Rodgers fails in the prime-time show losing 27-17 against the Buffalo Bills in Week 8. There have been a lot of expectations from the fans but as usual, the offense struggled to put up a show despite rolling the ball. The quarterback believes that the defense fared well, apart from some early jitters in the game.

The Sunday Night Football turned out to be an eventful matchup between the Super Bowl contenders Buffalo Bills and Aaron Rodgers’ side. Although Josh Allen boasts of having one of the strongest defenses in the league, Rodgers was successful in connecting for two touchdowns trailing 24-7 by the end of the first half.

While speaking to the reporters in the post-game press conference, the veteran was asked to comment on the defense and whether he was stressed about the same.

“No, I don’t really feel stressed about that. I just want to encourage those guys. We had a couple of nice receptions here in the fourth quarter. I think all phases kind of got it.” Rodgers said to the reporters.“We got to prove the discipline a little bit, and just the details of the game you know. Just little detailed mistakes. I thought we ran the ball. Well, I thought Jonsey had a great game. I thought AJ ran the ball hard.” he explained.

Well, Aaron Jones and AJ Dhillon played a major role in the Packers game. Jones registered 143 yards on 19 carries, and Dhillon recorded 10 carries for 54 yards. Anyway, the effort went in vain as Green Bay slumped their season record to 3-5.

After Aaron Rodgers, how did the head coach respond to the loss?

The trade deadline is nearing, and in the current scenario, it seems the Packers desperately need a wide receiver to strengthen their shattered offensive unit. Rookie Christian Watson lingered with constant injuries, missing almost the entire training camp and the last two games.

However, his return didn’t bear any fruit this time, as he was again taken back to the locker room, experiencing a concussion in the first quarter of the Week 8 game.

“Certainly our guys are disappointed. I’m disappointed. But we’ve got to find a way to right this thing. We’ve got an NFC North opponent next week, and I know they’re going to give us everything they’ve got.” head coach Matt LaFleur said to the reporters after the loss.

Now each and every game moving ahead happens to be a crucial knock for Aaron Rodgers. Half of the season is gone. It will be interesting to see if LaFleur trades for any weapons this week.
