There was no sense in risking an injury to Rodgers by having him play late into the game that was clearly lost. I remember 20 years ago QB's would be pulled if their team was up by 21 in the 4th quarter to avoid injuries as well.

Sports media is just trying to invent a controversy that really shouldn't be. Probably the same bozos that said Giannis was overrated because he hadn't won a Championship, and now say Giannis is overrated because he can't shoot 3's at a high percentage (never mind that Shaq was not a great shooter away from the basket).
