Photos: Detroit Lions 31, Green Bay Packers 0 The Green Bay Packers (6-9-1) were shutout 31-0 by the Detroit Lions (6-10) in the season finale on Sunday at Lambeau Field in Green Bay.

Rodgers played two more series before he walked to the locker room with team physician Dr. John Gray and veteran athletic trainer Kurt Fielding early in the second quarter, then ended up leaving Lambeau Field by ambulance while the game was still going on to go to a local hospital for evaluation and observation. Rodgers did return to the stadium to be with his teammates for the aftermath of a year gone wrong.

“When arguably the greatest player in the game leaves, it's not going to affect you positively,” veteran center Corey Linsley said. “Aaron was very emotional. (And) I know that for him to get emotional leaving a game that everybody, says is quote-unquote, ‘meaningless’ shows us how hard he wanted to play out there and how much he wanted to be with his boys. That was special.

“For that guy to come over to us and rally around us and tell us he wasn't going (to be able to keep playing) — and he was devastated about it honestly — that meant a lot to us. That's just shows you what kind of guy he is, honestly."
