Rodgers left in the third quarter with his team trailing 34-23 after suffering a rib injury on the drive that led to a Packers’ field goal.

Rodgers was sacked twice on the night, taking several hard shots, and was already dealing with a broken thumb.

Rodgers was 11 of 16 passing for 140 yards, two touchdowns, and two first-half interceptions.
