The Green Bay Packers shut a lot of people up after their Week 2 blowout of the Detroit Lions.
Before Monday Night’s game at Lambeau, Aaron Rodgers had been receiving a wave of criticism after their embarrassing 38-3 loss to the New Orleans Saints. The Green Bay Packers QB was sliced and diced in the media as he mentality and desire got questioned after an offseason where he demanded to be traded.
Michael Irvin blasted Rodgers at the time and said that “it really showed” he’s thinking about retiring, while ESPN commentator Stephen A. Smith called Rodgers’ performance at the time “atrocious” and the “most shameful performance” of his career.
After leading the Packers to a 35-17 win against the Detroit Lions in Week 2’s Monday Night Football, Aaron Rodgers had something to say about those critics.
“I think we maybe tried to show that we cared a little bit more tonight,” Aaron Rodgers said postgame, referencing the Packers’ 38-3 loss in Week 1 and the criticism that followed. “… I just think people like to say a lot of bullshit, and it’s nice to come back in here after a game like that.”
