On Sunday morning, multiple NFL reporters revealed that the Green Bay Packers were all-in on acquiring as much receiver talent as possible for Aaron Rodgers down the stretch, only to come away empty-handed. In the first half of the Packers’ Sunday game against the Detroit Lions, Green Bay’s actual receivers were mostly empty-handed, while the Lions’ defenders were most decidedly not.
With 4:25 left in the first quarter, and the ball at the Detroit five-yard line, Rodgers threw the ball off the helmet of linebacker Derrick Barnes, which allowed safety Kerby Joseph to come down with it in the end zone.
