The Green Bay Packers headed into their Week 9 matchup against the 3-5 Los Angeles Chargers with a 7-1 record.
However, they hit a roadblock. Los Angeles dominated the entire game, and walked away with a 26-11 victory.
After the game, superstar quarterback Aaron Rodgers spoke about the loss and how he feels it will impact the team moving forward.
Aaron Rodgers: "This was a good learning experience for us. I don't think we were locked in from the start unfortunately. the focus wasn't there from the start. We have to look in the mirror and be honest with our performance, myself included." #Packers

Rodgers has never been one to shy away from speaking out after a loss. He's always been good with accountability. The quarterback is not afraid to let it be known when he feels he has underperformed and he will hold his teammates accountable as well.
It's definitely hard to argue with his comments either. The Chargers have been searching for an identity all year long. Meanwhile, the Packers have been impressing fans on a weekly basis.
Green Bay could not get anything going in Week 9 though. They were losing 9-0 at the half and 19-3 at the end of the third quarter. At one point in the fourth they were even down 26-3. A touchdown in the fourth salvaged the game a little bit, but a 26-11 beatdown still is not all that encouraging.
The Packers can use this as a learning experience though. Take everything they feel they did wrong and look to fix those issues.
Green Bay squares off with the Carolina Panthers in Week 10 before it has a bye in Week 11. Can the Packers right the ship before their bye week? If not, can they resolve their issues during that extra week off before they face the undefeated San Francisco 49ers.
Or was this simply a one-game issue? The team just came out flat and nothing was working for them. Whatever the case was, you can trust that Aaron Rodgers and company will work hard to make sure it does not happen again.
