And it would only get worse from there, as a disastrous season for Green Bay reached a new low with a 15-9 loss to the last-place Lions, leaving Rodgers — the NFL’s two-time reigning MVP — looking forlorn in the visitors’ locker room.
Rodgers sat there, fully dressed in black from head to toe, for several minutes staring silently into space in front of his corner stall before heading into a postgame press conference where he was asked to assess not just his poor play but also the Packers’ painful reality this season.
