The fantasy was short-lived, though, getting a sudden and tragical end when the veteran quarterback had to be carted off the field with an Achilles injury just four plays into the game.

Rodgers was reportedly devastated after it, and his new favorite target and teammate, Garrett Wilson, recently shared a heartbreaking exchange they had during halftime.

Rodgers Apologized To Wilson

At halftime I just went in to check on him in the training room and just made sure I gave him a hug, told him I love him and it really hurt my heart. He told me just, ‘Sorry kid,’Wilson told 98.7FM ESPN New York.

“‘Sorry kid’ and that he loved me back and that was it. Just truly heartbroken for real. We love Aaron … and he brings a certain energy with him … and we were trying to imitate it and win for him,” he added.
