Many expected Aaron Rodgers and the struggling Packers to bounce back Sunday with a win against the Lions. But given the lingering presence of Murphy’s Law in Green Bay this season, the ball didn’t bounce their way, and Detroit squeaked away with a 15-9 victory.

Although Rodgers turned in a performance to forget — three interceptions, two of which were in the end zone — the 38-year-old quarterback appeared to take a shot at the Packers’ division rival after Green Bay dropped to 3-6 on the season following their fifth-straight loss.

“Can’t lose a game like that against that team, though, so that’s going to hurt for a while,” Rodgers said in his postgame press conference.

Rodgers, the league’s reigning MVP, said that while he “played s—ty,” he “never gave up.”

“I’ve been counted out many times in my life as have many of my teammates, and I hope we just dig deep and find a way,” Rodgers told reporters. “We will truly be underdogs for many games moving forward. Hopefully, we can embrace that. We have two games at home. We’ve got to go win those two games in a week, and then this thing looks a little different.”

The Packers, who are still above the Lions in the NFC North standings, will host the Cowboys next Sunday, followed by a primetime matchup against the Titans on “Thursday Night Football.”

Rodgers, who re-signed with the Packers in March, added that he doesn’t regret not retiring prior to the start of what’s been a challenging season.

“When I decided to come back, it was all-in, and I don’t make decisions and then hindsight 20/20 have regrets about big decisions like that. So, I was all-in, and this is a lot of life lessons, for sure, this year, but luckily it’s not over. There’s still a lot of games left. We’ll be counted out, probably by many, and we’ll see how we respond,” he said.

Through nine games this season, Rodgers has thrown for 2,091 yards, 14 touchdowns and seven interceptions.
