Did Rodgers suffer a concussion early in the game?

Something about Sunday's loss to the Redskins and the passing game just did not add up for me. Something was off but I was having a hard time putting my finger on it.
I'm not saying I have all the answers -- or any -- but I just wanted to point out Aaron Rodgers' stats before and after the early second-quarter sneak in which he took a hard hit to the head:
C A Y TD INT Rating
Before sneak 13 16 149 1 0 126.03
After sneak 14 30 144 0 1 47.1
The drops obviously factor into that, but the Packers always have a few drops a game.
I'd be willing to bet that Rodgers has never had a stretch like that in his young career.
Something's not right.
Guess we'll have to see what coach Mike McCarthy has to say at 11:30 a.m.
Obviously I'm not insinuating the Packers knew this and allowed him to play -- that'd be criminal. But Rodgers may have played with a concussion and not even known it himself. Could the head shots he took later keep him out longer than if he just simply suffered a concussion and was removed on the spot? Only a doctor can answer that.
