Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers played one of his worst games against one of the worst defenses in the NFL in Sunday’s loss to the Lions, and he says the real story of the game was the Packers’ miscues, and not the Lions’ defense.
Rodgers told Pat McAfee that his three-interception game was a matter of making individual mistakes and not a matter of the Packers getting outplayed.
“No disrespect, but did they play great? I mean, we had 400 yards of offense on them, we’d go up on down the field, I threw an interception off a helmet, I threw an interception five yards short of Dave,” Rodgers said, referring to offensive tackle David Bakhtiari, who lined up as an eligible receiver and slipped past the Lions’ defense unnoticed to get open in the end zone, only to have Rodgers throw the ball short and get intercepted by Detroit’s Aiden Hutchinson.
