Losing road games against teams like Denver and Carolina was hard but understandable. Wilson said to Butler in the locker room. That’s when they’ve played fast and had the opposing defense on their heals. “It’s an elation, it’s a joy, it’s a sense of accomplishment that’s very hard to match in any other forms of life”.

And when asked about uncharacteristically missing throws on Sunday, Rodgers repeated one answer.

Head coach Mike McCarthy, who ceded play-calling duties to offensive coordinator Tom Clements this season, isn’t happy with the team’s performanc of late, but does not plan to take over the play-calling again.

Still, the win wasn’t secure.
The Packers fell to the lowly Lions 18-16, as Rodgers went 35-of-61 passes for 333 yards and two touchdowns, but Green Bay didn’t even score a touchdown until 5:55 remained on the clock.
The Detroit Lions Game Ball goes to the most important person in this weeks game. But replays showed that no Lions players got a hand on the football.
“Well, I’m a little sore right now”, Rodgers said. They’re a game behind the Vikings and the Arizona Cardinals, and now find themselves three behind the 9-0 Carolina Panthers.

The Lions are still facing a very uncertain future. She made a statement when she fired General Manager Martin Mayhew and President Tom Lewand. However, on the last play, it was the Packers who had more to do with that than Detroit. You can hear that game on 1150 WHBY. “If it hasn’t been broken, somebody is going to do it eventually, one day”.
