Aaron Rodgers' return to the Green Bay Packers might end up being just a two-week arrangement after all.

Rodgers threw three touchdown passes in his return from a broken collarbone, but his three picks ultimately cost the Packers any chances of getting into the playoffs in a 31-24 loss to the Carolina Panthers in Week 15.

Rodgers had plenty of moments where he looked like the old A-Rod, but he also was uncomfortable at time in the pocket and took off probably far faster than he should have. Sure, Rodgers crushed his Projected Fantasy Points total with 21.90, but Green Bay has a real problem going forward.

Davante Adams, who beat his PFP total with 57 yards and a touchdown, left this game with a concussion and could end up missing the rest of the season.

The Panthers looked awesome offensively with Cam Newton throwing the ball all over the field. Newton tossed four touchdowns and added 58 yards as a runner, and he's suddenly putting in a late bid to win the MVP honor.

Greg Olsen reportedly played through this game pain-free, and he surely looked healthy with nine catches, 116 yards and a touchdown.
