Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers did not have the best game during their Week 9 matchup against the Detroit Lions.
The NFL star quarterback led the Packers down into the red zone on their first drive of the game, however, it ended with Rodgers throwing an interception.
Unfortunately, that was not the only interception thrown by Aaron Rodgers, as he went on to throw three in total, resulting in the quarterback to throwing his helmet on the sideline.
Aaron Rodgers Shows Anger On Sideline
A video of Aaron Rodgers was caught on camera after he threw an interception in the end zone. Lip readers can make out the expletives the NFL star quarterback shouted as he pumped his fist in anger.
FOX Sports shared the video, writing, "Aaron Rodgers is not happy on the sideline after his last throw was tipped and picked in the end zone."

Later on in the game, after Rodgers threw his third interception, the 38-year-old walked over to the bench on the sideline where he was seen taking off his helmet and slamming it onto the ground.
This, too, was caught on video and shared to TikTok.

The Green Bay Packers went into the game against the Lion with a 3-5 record, and were hoping to break a four-game losing streak. Unfortunately, that did not happen as the Packers lost to the Lions 9-15.
Rodgers Speaks Out After Poor Performance
After the game, Aaron Rodgers spoke out on his and the team's poor performance. "Had some sh***y throws, for sure," Rodgers said in the post-game press conference.
"I played sh***y, but I never gave up. … We moved the well in the first half and I threw two picks in the end zone," Rodgers continued.
Next week, Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers will take on Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys.
Tom Brady's Sideline Meltdown
Aaron Rodgers is not the only quarterback to have a rough start to the season. Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady is also not playing his best. In fact, a few weeks ago, he, too, had a sideline meltdown.
Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers could not even get in the end zone during October 23's loss to the Carolina Panthers. The only points the Bucs scored were thanks to Ryan Succop’s field goal, as the final score was 21-3. Brady was seen on the sideline, extremely frustrated not being able to pull anything together offensively, and he took his anger out on the team’s equipment (again).
The first time Brady threw a tablet this season was during Week 3 when the NFL quarterback was frustrated with his team, resulting in the 45-year-old throwing and breaking a tablet on the sideline.
Things turned around for the Buccaneers as they ended up defeating the Saints 20-10. After the game ended, Brady shared a video on Twitter addressing the tablet incident.
“Great win to get to 2-0,” Brady started in the video before apologizing for his behavior earlier in the game. “Sorry for breaking that tablet,” he said smiling, “I think that’s going to be another Twitter meme or something like that."
