Packers Rush for 17 Yards in 35-14 Loss as Injuries Expose Ground Game

3 articles · Updated · Channel3000.com - WISC-TV3 · Sep 25

Summary

  • Green Bay’s 35-14 home loss to Atlanta laid bare a rushing attack that managed just 17 yards on nine attempts while the Falcons piled up 242 on the ground.
  • 146 rushing yards through three games are the fewest in franchise history, and the Packers’ 48 carries are their lowest through Week 3 since 1994.
  • Josh Jacobs’ absence on the commissioner’s exempt list and fresh offensive-line injuries left a makeshift front unable to open lanes for MarShawn Lloyd and Kaleb Johnson.
  • The problems spread beyond the run game: Bijan Robinson ran for 194 yards, Drake London had 194 receiving yards, and Green Bay’s blocked 47-yard field-goal try killed a chance to tie.
  • At 1-2, the Packers now head to Tampa Bay on Oct. 4 with Matt LaFleur saying he still does not know what his offense does well.
