Watch Aaron Rodgers tell a tattling Chad Greenway to 'shut up'

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was content going into halftime of last Sunday's matchup with the Minnesota Vikings down by three points. Linebacker Chad Greenway, on the other hand, may have been craving one more play.

With Rodgers about to kneel out the remaining seconds in the first half, Greenway playfully pled with the ref to make him buckle his chinstrap before snapping the ball.

Rodgers didn't seem all that amused with Greenway's antics, telling him to "shut up" as the two teams retreated to the locker rooms.

It's no wonder Rodgers had no desire to test Minnesota's defense any more than he had to. The Vikings severely limited Green Bay's offensive production by sacking the All-Pro passer five times and intercepting one of his last-ditch efforts to win the game.

Rodgers' most frustrating failure came late in the third quarter, when defensive end Everson Griffen knocked the ball from his hand just as he was passing, allowing cornerback Captain Munnerlyn to return the loose ball 55 yards for a touchdown.

The Packers would go on to put up 10 points in the fourth quarter thanks to Rodgers' arm, but Munnerlyn's score would stand as the game-winner in the 20-13 decision at Lambeau Field in Week 17.
