Aaron Rodgers has suggested losing to the Washington Commanders could be the ‘best thing’ for the Green Bay Packers and the quarterback still harbours hopes of reaching the playoffs.
The Packers were defeated 23-21 by the lowly Commanders to condemn the franchise to a losing record of 3-4 in 2022. Rodgers threw for 194 yards and two touchdowns but failed to breathe life into a youthful Green Bay offence which has struggled this season.
As a result, the Packers now sit second in the NFC North but are well off the pace set by the Minnesota Vikings, who have five wins and one defeat so far. The stagnant offence is piloted by Rodgers, and the four-time MVP has come under fire for his performances so far this campaign.
