At some point, it really seems like Aaron Rodgers’ frustrations are going to reach a boiling point this season.
After putting together an MVP performance in 2021, this season has seen a startling regression as Rodgers has struggled to build chemistry with his receivers since Davante Adams’ departure. It didn’t help matters either when the Packers failed to acquire a No. 1 receiver at the trade deadline.
So come Sunday, Rodgers couldn’t hide his frustration when promising drives derailed in the Week 9 matchup against the Lions. Shortly after Rodgers threw an interception in the end zone off a deflected pass, Fox cameras focused on Rodgers as he unloaded some expletives from the bench.
First, here’s the pick:

And this was how Rodgers responded to it:

It was an odd sight, considering the interception was totally on Rodgers — a poor pass right into the defense.
Rodgers didn’t exactly bounce back from the mistake either as he would throw a second interception in the end zone.

Fans had plenty of thoughts on how Rodgers is handling himself this season.
This was how Twitter reacted

Who is he mad at? He just threw his 2nd goal line INT of the game and is embarrassing himself. https://t.co/vhhGeKWfxx

Who is he yelling at? Bet it’s the guy who threw a ball directly at a line backer. https://t.co/wJ46aQLN08

He's yelling at himself for throwing the ball low into traffic or? https://t.co/BdTHC3N3F6

This is becoming too common for Rodgers this season.
