The Packers started the season by winning their first six games, but after beginning to see things slip away following a three-game slide, the team called a players-only meeting, which is fairly customary in these types of situations.
The reason, however, may have been more hilarious than usual.
“They had a little players-only meeting this past couple weeks ago before that Minnesota game,” NBC’s Cris Collinsworth said midway through the third quarter of Green Bay’s 17-13 loss to the Bears on Thanksgiving night. “I don’t think Aaron Rodgers was too happy with the preparation schedule of some of the young players on this team. A few too many video games being played and not enough homework.”
It's unclear if video games were actually the issue here, because this could have just been Collinsworth's colorful way of explaining the team's lack of preparation. But if that really was a problem in the Green Bay locker room, then when things don't go as planned, these types of outbursts from Rodgers are completely understandable.
