Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson return for one dull slog of a game

Who would think a game matching up two certain future Hall of Fame quarterbacks could be so ... boring?

Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson returned to the field after absences for dramatically different reasons, and the result was a numbing slog that stood at 3-0 until well into the fourth quarter. Green Bay eventually pulled away, using two long, grinding drives ending in A.J. Dillon touchdowns to win 17-0. But for any number of reasons, nobody involved in this game will want to remember it for long.

The game marked Wilson's return to action following surgery on the middle finger of his throwing hand.
