The football went sailing above their heads but never reached their hands. Although Rodgers admitted to having lost the grip, he passed a certain amount of blame on the continuous wind and snow swirling across the stadium.

“I felt like fundamentally I was in a good spot. I just didn’t have the same type of consistent grip and ball coming out the same way.” Rodgers said to the reporters in the post-game press conference. “I threw a lot of kind of wobblers tonight. There was some wind. Just missed a few throws I should have had. Definitely the one to Sammy and the one to Allen.” he added to his explanations.

Well, for the fans, these justifications were mere excuses, especially because Ryan Tannehill looked like a beast with back-to-back accurate passes. Keeping Rodgers’ performance aside, rookie wide receiver Christian Watson stepped up for two touchdowns as the youngster was seen in phenomenal form since his last game against the Cowboys.
