The memeification of Aaron Rodgers’ struggles has officially begun

The Green Bay Packers quarterback threw three ugly interceptions against the Detroit Lions' usually porous defense. This time he couldn't blame his receivers

During Green Bay's 15-9 loss to the (previously) one-win Detroit Lions on Sunday, the TV cameras happened to catch Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers angrily slamming down a phone on the sideline. This is not inherently interesting. Rodgers is far from being the only NFL player unable to hide frustration when playing badly. He's not even the only future Hall of Fame quarterback to take his anger out on technology this season.

However, such is the nature of his season (which can pretty easily be described as his worst - more on that later), that this otherwise insignificant moment has already been turned into a meme. Sunday's loss to lowly Detroit may represent a new rock bottom for the perennial contender Packers, but it wasn't a surprise. Coming into Sunday's game, the Packers had lost five of their last eight games, the worst start of the Rodgers era.
