Green Bay in a Free Fall
Last week, the Green Bay Packers were defeated 40-33 by the Philadelphia Eagles. Aaron Rodgers, already suffering from a broken thumb, suffered a rib injury and left the game in the third quarter after failing to cover a 6.5-point spread. In relief, Jordan Love completed six of nine passing attempts for 113 yards and a touchdown in place of Rodgers, who completed 11-of-16 for 140 yards and two touchdowns.
The Packers got pounded on the ground and allowed the Eagles to rush 49 times for 36 yards. Green Bay rushed 21 times for 106 yards, led by AJ Dillon with eight carries for 64 yards. Christian Watson had four catches for 110 yards and a touchdown. Aaron Jones carried the ball 12 times for 43 yards and had three receptions for 56 yards and a touchdown. In the last eight games, Green Bay has posted just 1-7 SU and 2-6 ATS. Green Bay's defensive unit has struggled to stop anything on the ground due to its banged-up defense. With 154.8 rushing yards allowed per game and 5.0 yards allowed per carry, Green Bay ranks 31st in the NFL. De'Vondre Campbell (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice after suffering a foot injury.
