NFL Twitter went to town on Aaron Rodgers after he threw his second interception against the Eagles to an undrafted free agent.
The first half of the Sunday Night Football game between the Packers and Eagles was an enthralling affair.
Philadelphia jumped out to a 13-0 lead before Aaron Rodgers and company responded to seize a 14-13 advantage in the first quarter.
However, things briefly went off the rails for the Packers after Miles Sanders put the Eagles back in front 20-14. On two consecutive drives, Rodgers threw two interceptions to bring his season total to levels not seen from him in decades.
Particularly frustrating was a second interception by safety Reed Blankenship, an undrafted rookie, who the NFL let him have.
NFL Twitter roasts Aaron Rodgers after the second INT
Rodgers still manages to produce his own plays, of course. Not long after the interception, he hit Aaron Jones for an impressive touchdown.
However, Philadelphia went into halftime with a lead. Jalen Hurts hit Keese Watkins for a 30-yard touchdown with 13 seconds before the break.
The Packers have lost six of their last seven games. An upset of the Eagles would go a long way to proving the team wasn’t all lost.
In order to do that, Green Bay will need the best out of their quarterback. In the first half they got the best and the worst.
Rodgers had 118 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in the opening two quarters.
Hurts had 128 yards in the air and 126 yards on the ground.
