GREEN BAY — On a rainy night made beautiful by the retirement of Brett Favre's No. 4 and the inspiring appearance of another Green Bay icon, the Packers' current legend got a bit of a scare.
In the third quarter, trailing 14-13, Aaron Rodgers was in the shotgun. The snap skipped and bounced off the ground, and in the resulting scrum, Rodgers took a helmet to his left elbow. He went off the field, holding it, and medical staff surrounded him. Unfortunately, Favre couldn't suit up. The stadium became hushed.
The staff worked on Rodgers' arm, poking and prodding the triceps area.
