NFL star Aaron Rodgers did his best Tom Brady impression as he took his anger at his torrid performance out on a phone on the sideline during the Green Bay Packers’ loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday.
After amassing 39 regular-season wins and two NFC Championship Game appearances in the team's first three seasons under head coach Matt LaFleur, the wheels appear to have fallen off as the Packers fell 15-9 to the Lions. It means Green Bay have lost five straight matches to possess a 3-6 record while Detroit sit at 2-6.
The single-digit defeat to the Lions - the worst defence in the NFL allowing an average of 32.1 points per game - was brutal and perhaps symbolises the negative feelings around the franchise like no other loss in Rodgers’ career. The result occurred following three unfathomable interceptions, including two in the end zone, that were undoubtedly on the four-time MVP.
