The 2022 season ended in disappointment for Aaron Rodgers and the Packers on Sunday Night Football as the club was eliminated from playoff contention following a 20–16 home loss to the Lions.
Needing a win to secure the NFC’s final playoff berth, the Packers attempted to erase the deficit late in the fourth quarter, but the comeback bid was ultimately cut short after Rodgers was intercepted by Lions safety Kerby Joseph on a third-and-10 deep ball to receiver Christian Watson. Detroit was able to pick up three first downs and run out the clock from there. The loss not only ended Green Bay’s playoffs hopes, but also reignited conversations surrounding Rodgers’s NFL future with his 18th season officially in the books.
Speaking to reporters after the game, Rodgers remained noncommittal about playing next season and explained that he is still unsure about where he stands on what he wants to do.
