Wigan and Blackburn cancelled each other out in a 1-1 draw at the DW Stadium which did nothing to improve either side's fortunes.
Benni McCarthy's first Barclays Premier League goal of the season put the visitors ahead in the 30th minute only for Hugo Rodallega's 53rd-minute header to level things up.
Wigan have now won just one of the last eight league matches, with Blackburn enjoying victory only once in seven.
