The Green Bay Packers' loss to the 49ers at a frigid Lambeau Field has led to a wave of acrimony aimed at controversial QB Aaron Rodgers
Veteran quarterback and reigning NFL MVP Rodgers, who has become central to an ongoing vaccine culture war in the United States in recent months, was unable to deliver on pre-game expectations as his team surrendered to a late San Francisco 49ers field goal to lose their NFC divisional round game by a razor-thin 13-10 margin.
The defeat was an unexpected one. Rodgers and Green Bay had been near-flawless all season, posting a 13-4 record in the regular season to secure the top seed in the playoffs - but inside a (quite literally) freezing Lambeau Field, it was instead the Californian team who raised the temperature with the late game-clinching field goal.
