Aaron Rodgers questioned the energy level of the Green Bay Packers after they lost for the third time in four games.
The Packers fell 31-26 to the Indianapolis Colts at home on Sunday. Rodgers said his team had "uncharacteristically low energy for whatever reason."
Green Bay is 4-4. A win would have pulled the club into a tie with the Minnesota Vikings for first place in the NFC North.
"I don't understand it," Rodgers said. "I mean, this is what we get paid to do, is to bring it every week, and I hope the guys would say I bring it every week. I mean, I love this game and I bring energy. I'm not a rah-rah guy, but I'm a focused, enthusiastic player, and I don't know what the lack of juice was. You kind of felt it over the entire sideline. We didn't have the same kind of enthusiasm and encouragement that we had the previous two weeks. So we've got to look deep in the mirror there, because that's just not acceptable."
