Primetime NFL games have been mostly trash this season, which has left football fans to find other ways of entertaining themselves. It should come as no surprise, then, that Monday night's clash between the Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles became the story of Aaron Rodgers And The Mystery Tent.The star QB disappeared into a makeshift tent on the sidelines at one point during the Packers' 27-13 victory, prompting social media to lose its collective shit. Why is he in the tent? America wondered. Also when the hell did NFL teams start putting tents up on the sideline? Is Olivia Munn behind this somehow?Rodgers, who returned to the field with some padding around his left thigh shortly after his trip into the tent, provided a very mundane explanation in his postgame press conference:"I just didn't want to be getting taped up on the television," Rodgers said. "But obviously, when I walked out and saw the camera right in my face, I knew there was probably some sort of mini-story growing. But no, I had to drop my drawers a little bit to get taped up and just wanted to do [that] in the privacy of that tent."Yet another diva QB who thinks he's too good to take off his pants in front of a hostile crowd with millions of people watching on TV.Former Packer AJ Hawk explained the dual purpose of the tent, which is a relatively new aid in college and the pros:
