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.
It leaves both teams still too close to the relegation zone for their liking.
There was little to choose between the sides in the first half but Rovers should have taken a fifth-minute lead when Junior Hoilett slid a diagonal ball into the penalty area for McCarthy.
The South Africa striker opted to cross rather than shoot and although Titus Bramble deflected the ball inches wide of the far post referee Mark Clattenburg awarded a goal-kick.
Five minutes later Blackburn defender Chris Samba's header from Bramble's hopeful punt beat his own goalkeeper Paul Robinson but the England international managed to scramble back and claw the ball off the goalline.
Rovers were determined to make the game a physical one judging by their first-half approach, which saw three players booked before the interval.
However, it was Wigan forward Rodallega's 30th-minute body-check on Michel Salgado which was the most significant foul of the first half.
Keith Andrews' free-kick from just over the halfway line was headed across the six-yard area by Ryan Nelsen and McCarthy was on hand to score from close range.
Less than a minute later Paul Scharner had a chance to equalise but failed to hit the target from Charles N'Zogbia's right-wing cross.
