Rodgers, Packers lose 20-16 to Lions, miss playoffs

Associated Press  

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Aaron Rodgers will have the entire postseason to ponder his future. Rodgers was intercepted by Kerby Joseph on what might have been the final pass of the future Hall of Famer’s career, and Green Bay lost 20-16 to the Detroit Lions on Sunday night in a game the Packers needed to win to reach the playoffs. Facing fourth-and-1 from the Green Bay 15, the Lions passed up a field-goal attempt and got a clinching first down on Jared Goff’s 9-yard pass to DJ Chark. Detroit’s Michael Badgley made a field goal to close the first half after a personal foul on Green Bay’s Rasul Douglas turned what would have been a 48-yard attempt into a 33-yarder. And we’ve got to be much more mentally tough.” Green Bay led 9-6 after a first half that featured five field goals and numerous wasted chances.
