re: Aaron Rodgers is 0-31 against teams w/ winning record, while trailing heading into 4Q

Good catch. Only stipulation I can imagine that would make sense is teams that had a winning record after the completion of the game? Bears fell to 8-8 with that loss.

What are the stats of other QBs using the same criteria? I would be surprised if any QBs was over 50% in this strict scenario.

Yeah, ultimately Rodgers doesn't have many 4th quarter comebacks at all, so to have so few in this set of criteria isn't shocking.

Where did you find this stat?

I first heard of this stat earlier this year on Cowherd

Oh I'm always here. Watching. Lurking.

Aaron Rodgers is 0-31 against teams w/ winning record, while trailing heading into 4Q

So because it was the first game of the season, his 20-3 comeback against the Bears, who are now 10-4, doesn’t count?

Or because they were 2-2, but finished 9-7, his comeback against Dallas last season doesn’t count either?

Or the comeback against the Seahawks who finished 10-6 in 2015?

But then again, he beat an 8-7 Bears team in 2013 so that was a winning record if the final season record doesn’t count and just the record entering that game.

But then the 4th quarter comebacks against the 10-4 Bears (currently) in 2018, the 9-7 Cowboys in 2017, and 10-6 Seahawks in 2015 should count instead.

Either way, the OP is false.

Colin cowherd. He babbled about it for a week

So I just googled this and apparently he brought this up after the 11/25 loss to the Vikings, and the stat that he presented was that he was 0-37 against teams with a winning record at that time (as if that’s more important than they’re end of the year record) and trailing by more than a point entering the 4th quarter.

So I went back through each of his 58 losses on Sports Reference and searched for games that matched his parameters.

I found 24 games that matched those parameters; however, in 3 of those games Brett Favre was the starter and Rodgers played because they were getting blown out. And in one of those games, Rodgers got injured early on and Hundley played a majority of them.

So that means he hasn’t lost 37 games; he has lost 20. And in a number of those games, they were down by double digits, and in a number of games the Packers actually trimmed the lead, include one game where they came back and went to OT.

And take the Rams game from this year. The Packers has come back to take the lead before the Rams kicked a field goal. Then the Rams were kicking off to the Packers 2:05 left with a timeout. And instead of tacking a touchback with the ball at the 25 and preserving the 2 minute warning, Ty Montgomery returns it out of the end zone and fumbles it on the 21 yard line, giving Rodgers no chance to even attempt a comeback. But let’s use that against him.

And besides, being way off on the number of losses, Rodgers did lead a 4Q comeback under those parameters against an 8-7 Bears team.

So the OP didn’t take the time to verify the accuracy of the incorrect stat, and he didn’t even verify what the incorrect stat was in the first place. If only he focused as much on that as he did on Rodgers sexuality, he would have at least gotten something right.
