On Nov. 21, the Green Bay Packers fell 34-31 to the Minnesota Vikings.
The loss may have cost Green Bay their chance at grabbing a top seed spot, according to Acme Packing Company. The game remained close the entire time, with the Packers even leading in the fourth quarter.
"Stay the course. Turn L’s into lessons and keep going," Green Bay Running Back AJ Dillon wrote in a Nov. 21 Twitter post to encourage his team.
ESPN reports that recently returned QB Aaron Rodgers had to leave the field early before halftime due to an ongoing toe injury that he said caused him a lot of pain. He hopes for it to heal over the bye week, but was not optimistic about it.
"I'm just going to have to get to the bye and hope I can get some healing over the bye week," Rodgers said, according to ESPN. "Probably the same schedule next week. Was in a lot of pain. Went in at halftime early to get it checked out. It's very, very painful. Got stepped on the first half, and that kind of activated all the symptoms I was having. It's going to be another painful week and next week, and then hopefully start to feel a little better on the bye."
Also injured, Elgton Jenkins had to leave the game due to a knee injury, which may be as serious as an ACL tear that would take him out for the rest of the season, which would be detrimental to the Packers, according to The Spun.
