The Green Bay Packers took a resounding lead in their game against the Patriots. From the first touchdown, they never looked back. The forty-five points coming from them is the most in Gillette Stadium history from an opponent.
The confidence of this entire team felt completely different. Jordan Love threw for 372 yards, putting up another dominating performance. Christian Watson and Matthew Golden continue to establish themselves as the best wide receiver duo in the league.
When the errors are minimal, the full potential is on display. Golden and Watson held onto the ball, and the results speak for themselves. Meanwhile, the defense continues to take the ball away and play with an intensity that had been lacking in past seasons.
Nothing is ever easy in the NFL; this is proven in the division of the NFC North. All four teams have at least six wins. Wins are at a premium, and the Packers must continue to win to climb the standings.
Packers Play a Complete Game in all Phases
Lately, many games watching the Packers have been full of overwhelming frustration. This has been proven through blown leads and no consistency. Many opportunities are left on the table, but this time it’s different.
All three phases came together, firing on all cylinders. Trey Smack went seven for seven on kicks after a rough couple of weeks. With his job in limbo, he delivered on a big stage.
For the past six weeks, the improvement is beginning to show. The team keeps finding ways to overcome adversity and the penalties continue to clear up. We are getting closer to the time when playing your best football is crucial.
However, every team in the division continues to win. The Lions beat the Dolphins convincingly and the Bears escaped the Buccaneers on a game winning field goal. The Vikings will face the Bills tonight, so those results await.
If the Packers continue to play a complete game in all phases, the wins will come. With Micah Parsons nearing the horizon, the sky is truly the limit for this team.
