    He not only caught six passes for 92 yards, but he drew five penalties — three for pass interference, one for illegal contact and one for defensive holding.

    11 hits the Vikings defense got on Rodgers, one week after Rodgers was hit 15 times by the Denver defense.

    Rodgers left the game for one play in the second quarter when he was awkwardly bent backwards and hurt his left knee and ankle.
