The Packers suffered their first defeat of the NFL season Sunday at the hands of the Buccaneers. Star quarterback Aaron Rodgers believes it was a necessary wake-up call for the franchise.
Green Bay carried a flawless record into the Week 6 contest, but the Packers were upstaged by Tom Brady and the Buccaneers 38-10 in Tampa.
It was a forgettable day for the Packers (4-1) at Raymond James Stadium, where two-time MVP Rodgers threw a pair of interceptions, one of them a pick-six, as he finished with 16-of-35 passing for 160 yards and no touchdowns.
"You don't ever want to lose like this," Rodgers said. "I felt like we needed a little bit of a wake-up call at some point this season because things have been so good and there's been so much talk maybe outside the building about the ease with which we're moving the ball on offense and scoring.
"I think we needed kind of a kick in the a— a little bit. There's a little bit of wake-up to stop feeling ourselves so much and get back to the things that got us to this position. I think this would be, unfortunately but fortunately, something we can really grow from."
