Aaron Rodgers Torches Chiefs On The Field, Trolls Them In Press Conference
The Chiefs would squander a Packers’ 3rd-and-eight on the following drive when linebacker Dee Ford jumped offside, and Rodgers connected for 52 yards on the free play.
The Chiefs fell behind 31-7, then finished the game on a 21-7 run that proved to be too little, entirely too late. It’s possible that the worst isn’t quite over yet for this football team.
Jamaal Charles rushed for three touchdowns for Kansas City (1-2), which followed its stunning, last-minute loss at home to Denver with a respectable fourth-quarter effort at raucous Lambeau Field. He doesn’t look like he belongs in the starting lineup half the time. Green Bay attacked the right side of Kansas City’s defense on the ground, gashing them in the process. It’s up to Rodgers to take advantage of a defense on the next free play. In the face of a fearsome pass rush, he calmly slid around the pocket. He deserves all of his accolades. Josh Mauga contributed a number of missed tackles.
And the official allows play to go on without a stoppage.
What Happened: Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay passing game got it going quickly, kicking things off with an 8-yard TD pass to Ty Montgomery.
Eddie Lacy, James Starks, Alonzo Harris, Randall Cobb and Aaron Rodgers had runs of 11 or more yards in the first half.
Cobb was been accustomed to being the 1-B to Jordy Nelson’s 1-A on the pecking order of Packer’s wideouts. Those were good times.
– LB Clay Matthews recorded a team-high two sacks, the 13th two-sack game of his career. But the end result was the same for Kansas City, which lost its second straight.
But the Chiefs may be down a corner in Phillip Gaines.
But it was the next snap, on first-and-goal from the 8-yard line, where the intrinsic fire of Rodgers spilled over on a rare mistake. The organization has to find answers to those questions in season, with few personnel alternatives. It marks Green Bay’s first 3-0 start since 2011 and the third 3-0 start under Head Coach Mike McCarthy (also 2007). Albert Wilson hasn’t quite progressed as the coaching staff had hoped.
“It’s a good place to be in, but you can’t slow down”, Cobb cautioned.
Monday was the first loss for the Chiefs after winning their previous three games at Lambeau Field.
“I don’t know if there’s anything to say about that”, Richard Rodgers said. The Packers offense is averaging 32 focuses and 377 yards for every amusement and they are in addition to three in turnover proportion.
The 49ers knocked Green Bay out of the playoffs following the 2012 and 2013 seasons.
– The Packers posted their second zero-turnover game this season. “And you can see when he gets in the game its the same thing”.
Andy Reid has to draw up quick-hitting offensive plays that don’t require a dozen passes behind the line of scrimmage. He challenged the Chiefs secondary and didn’t get much of a fight.
Part of that adversity is not only looking in the mirror as Johnson described, but also listening to one another and figuring out what to do in order to make sure they don’t have another performance below the standards they have set for themselves, like Monday night. And guess what. You f***ing lose, Alex Smith.
