Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers struggled again in a season opener on Sunday, this time losing to Minnesota Vikings on the road, 23-7, in a Week 1 matchup between NFC North rivals.
Rodgers, who has won the NFL MVP in each of the past two seasons, struggled in his first game without Devante Adams. He didn’t throw a TD pass, though rookie WR Christian Watson should have had a long score early in the game but he couldn’t catch an easy ball.
On one play Rodgers went flying after throwing a block on Vikings LB Za’Darius Smith. The Packers QB tried to shake it off but it took him a few attempts to get back on his feet and then he had a laugh with Smith.

I don’t know what was going on with his legs there and why he couldn’t get back up on his feet but good on him for being able to have a laugh about it. He was fine and stayed in the game.
Twitter had reactions.
