NEW ORLEANS -- Most of them didn’t know about Aaron Rodgers' injury. The Detroit Lions had just completed a 52-38 loss to the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, the team’s second straight defeat, to drop them to 3-3.
And despite Detroit's falling into third place in the NFC North, Rodgers' broken collarbone could reshape the division.
Rodgers has crushed the Lions throughout his career. He beat Detroit last season in Week 17 to keep the club from its first division title since 1993. In 2015, his Hail Mary to Richard Rodgers on a final, untimed down beat the Lions in Ford Field and became a legendary play.
