GREEN BAY — Maybe it was the oddity of the game ending in a tie. Or the controversy that sprung from Clay Matthews’ game-changing roughing-the-passer penalty.
Or perhaps it’s that the Green Bay Packers and their fans are so accustomed to quarterback Aaron Rodgers playing well no matter what the circumstances — as long as he’s indeed able to play — that what the two-time NFL MVP’s performance during last Sunday’s 29-29 tie with the Minnesota Vikings was always going to be relegated to yeah, so? status. It probably would’ve been more newsworthy had he played poorly while wearing that cumbersome brace.
