Aaron Rodgers Blames Struggles On Lack Of Accuracy

Oct 19, 2016 6:26 AM

Aaron Rodgers believes his struggles are related to his accuracy throwing the football.

"I just think it's accuracy," Rodgers said. "I've missed a couple [throws] that I'm used to hitting. And you hit those and you take away the throwaways, being able to hit some things on some of those plays instead of extending and throwing the ball away, and we're right where we need to be."

Rodgers was the NFL's least accurate passer heading into Week 5 and after going 31-for-42 against the Dallas Cowboys he still only ranks 26th with a 60.2 completion percentage.

His plan to improve his accuracy: "Just throw it a little bit better."
