Packers bench Aaron Rodgers for Jordan Love [View all]

Aaron Rodgers insists he never intended to cause any distractions to the Packers' 2021 season by staying away from the team and playing coy about his future in Green Bay for most of this offseason.

But if anyone looked distracted, or at least unprepared, in Sunday's Week 1 games, it was Rodgers and the Packers -- so much so that coach Matt LaFleur sent Rodgers to the bench with just under 11 minutes left in the club's road opener against the Saints, replacing the reigning MVP with second-year backup Jordan Love.

Entering the year as one of the NFL's most accomplished QBs, however, Rodgers' performance was notably muted: 15 of 28 for 133 yards, zero touchdowns and two interceptions.

Rodgers’ Packers lost to the New Orleans Saints 38 to 3.
