By the time <\/span>Aaron Rodgers<\/a><\/b> retires, he will be praised as the greatest quarterback of all-time by countless fans. Some believe he is already the GOAT. However, what is Aaron Rodgers’ worst game as an NFL quarterback?<\/span><\/p>\n

Rodgers has appeared in over 200 NFL games including playoff games. Many of those games are contenders for the most dominant individual quarterback games ever. There have been 27 games to have a quarterback throw for four touchdowns, zero interceptions, over 400 yards, and finish with a 130 passer rating. Rodgers owns three of those games, tied for the most in NFL history.<\/span><\/p>\n

He has 10 career 400-yard games, 55 games with three passing touchdowns and zero interceptions, and over half of his regular-season appearances resulted in a passer rating over 100.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, the two-time MVP is far from perfect. He has looked vulnerable in a handful of games throughout his career. Oddly enough, Rodgers\u2019 duds tend to pool against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/a>. In his four starts in Tampa Bay, Rodgers has three games with a passer rating below 58.0. Aaron Rodgers’s worst game came in 2020.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Was the Worst Game for Aaron Rodgers?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

October 18, 2020<\/span><\/h2>\n

Heading into their Week 6 clash with the Buccaneers, the Packers were undefeated. Rodgers was an early-season MVP front-runner with four consecutive multi-touchdown games without tossing an interception. Through four weeks, Rodgers had 13 touchdowns and a 128 passer rating. He had proved the doubters wrong<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rodgers started reasonably well, connecting on a long third down to escape a three-and-out. Rodgers and the Packers ate up 52 yards across four plays to get into field goal range. The offense stalled, and <\/span>Mason Crosby<\/a><\/b> split the uprights.<\/span><\/p>\n

Green Bay forced a three-and-out. Rodgers was winning the battle between GOAT candidates (<\/span>Tom Brady<\/a><\/b>).<\/span><\/p>\n

Green Bay\u2019s second drive started slowly, but Rodgers found <\/span>Robert Tonyan<\/a><\/b> for a first down. A <\/span>Jamaal Williams<\/a><\/b> 25-yard run put the Packers in Tampa Bay territory before Rodgers completed a trio of passes to put the Packers in the red zone. Rodgers converted another third down, and <\/span>Aaron Jones<\/a><\/b> punched the pigskin into the end zone to put the Packers up 10-0.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tampa Bay\u2019s second drive stalled.<\/span><\/p>\n

With 13 minutes left in the second quarter, Green Bay was cruising. Even after two incompletions to start their drive, Green Bay was cruising.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then Tampa Happened<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Jamel Dean<\/a><\/b> jumped a <\/span>Davante Adams<\/a><\/b> route to notch an interception. Dean ran untouched into the end zone for just the third pick-six of Rodgers\u2019s career.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In true Tampa Bay\/Aaron Rodgers fashion, it was Rodgers\u2019 second pick-six at Raymond James Stadium. Two of Rodgers’s 137 pass attempts in Tampa Bay became pick-sixes. In contrast, Rodgers has thrown over 3,200 passes at Lambeau Field. William Jackson returned one for a touchdown in 2017. In Rodgers\u2019 3,500 passes in stadiums other than Lambeau or Raymond James, none have been pick-sixes.<\/span><\/p>\n

It Became Aaron Rodgers’ Worst Game<\/span><\/h2>\n

Three snaps later, another pass intended for Adams was tipped to Tampa Bay safety <\/span>Mike Edwards<\/b><\/a>. Edwards returned the interception down to the Green Bay goal line, and <\/span>Ronald Jones<\/a><\/b> scored immediately.<\/span><\/p>\n
