Aaron Rodgers uses mystery tent to protect modesty during Packers win
Linsley was penalized once for holding against the Eagles but otherwise played well, especially with rookie Jason Spriggs filling in for veteran T.J. Lang at right guard. At least not yet.
Second down: We saw something Monday night we might not see again: Aaron Rodgers running a triple option.
“Everyone’s got their own opinion”, Barbre said, via the Delaware New Journal. We’re 5-6. We need to stay the course.
Clearly the ground game has helped an offensive line in transition due to the suspension of Lane Johnson, and more recently the injury to Hal Vaitai and the illness of Brandon Brooks. Randall Cunningham was benched at halftime and never started another game for the Eagles. Wide receiver Nelson Agholor, a 2015 first-round pick, is a healthy scratch. With Brandon Brooks missing from the offensive line because of illness and Halapoulivaati Vaitai out with an injury, the line was a insane quilt of patches.
“This is the National Football League”, said Eagles cornerback Jalen Mills.
The Packers are facing a Texans team that committed four turnovers Sunday in its loss to the Chargers and quarterback Brock Osweiler has proven to be a liability when it comes to taking care of the football. But it takes a lot more than that to execute a play properly. The Lions have just two remaining games at home.
The Eagles got the ball to start the second half, but a pass intended for Zach Ertz sailed on Wentz, and into the hands of Packers safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix.
Halfway through the third quarter, Rodgers disappeared into the tent, followed by a Packers sideline trainer, and emerged shortly after ready to play once more.
That penalty extended the Packers’ drive, which would grow to 13 plays, leak into the fourth quarter, end in a one-yard Aaron Ripkowski touchdown run and essentially drive the Eagles to defeat.
But the Eagles came right back with an impressive drive of their own, led by receiver Dorial Green-Beckham, who had four catches for 53 yards in the drive, which nearly matched his season high for an entire game – he had five catches for 55 yards against Dallas in Week 7. This year is about getting Wentz’s feet wet. “But the referees are going to call that, even if they think it is close”. But on Monday night against the Philadelphia Eagles, Cook did not have the same success as he caught only one pass for seven yards. The early kickoff of noon local time will come less than 130 hours after the Packers returned to Green Bay in the wee hours Tuesday morning following their 27-13 road win over the Philadelphia Eagles. “They didn’t throw a flag probably because I’m not a quarterback”. In fact, a lot better.
