Clay Matthews says ‘cheap shot’ by former Packer caused his shoulder injury
Green Bay scored 27 points against a Philly defense that was allowing an average of 18.6 points per game.
However the game swung decisively Green Bay’s way when Eagles lineman Fletcher Cox was penalised for roughing the passer on an incomplete third down pass.
It wasn’t as headline-friendly as “R-E-L-A-X” was two years ago, but when Aaron Rodgers tried to reassure Green Bay Packers fans last week that all was not lost this season, he stuck with what had worked before.
Down: Wentz’s arm – Wentz threw his eighth interception of the season in the third quarter, sailing a pass high over the head of Zach Ertz and into the arms of Green Bay safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix. The rookie QB was inconsistent and made a costly mistake for the Philadelphia Eagles.
On Monday Night Football, Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers came to play.
“Carson Wentz posted just 13 points against a wounded Packers pass defense”. As for Wentz, there is no glossing over his declining play after his shiny first four starts.
And if you think it’s the former, are you willing to bet against Rodgers again? Rodgers capitalized nearly immediately with a perfectly thrown 50-yard dart that led to a short field goal.
“We struggled to get into rhythm”, said Wentz, the Eagles’ No. 2 draft pick from North Dakota State University. This was a step in the right direction and a game we needed to take care of business.
The Redskins, who are 6-4-1, and the Eagles play December 11.
Detroit sits top, but three of their remaining five games are away from Ford Field. He did not return to the game and finished with four catches for 47 yards on four targets. Paul Turner was not targeted in the game.
Clay Matthews has a separated AC joint in his left shoulder, and he’s not happy about what caused it.
Not only did the Packers score early, but they converted 10 of 14 third downs (71%), the best conversion rate by any National Football League team this season. While the Lions are on an impressive winning streak, they have been forced to come from behind in the 4th quarter to win every game this year. We started the game we felt would be the best to build off of. For the seventh time, according to PFF, Bakhtiari allowed no sacks and zero or one quarterback hurries.
“There’s no question it will definitely help out if he can sit in the pocket and doesn’t really feel like running, because there’s nothing more defeating than on third down covering everybody and then the quarterback runs right by everyone for the first down”, Texans linebacker Brian Cushing said. There’s no shame in getting beaten by Aaron Rodgers, but the Eagles made it too easy on him.
Eight other pass-catchers got involved for the Packers, and Jordy Nelson contributed a nice chunk of yardage (91). “Thought the most important development was when the officiating crew missed an obvious hold on Vinny Curry on a third-down conversion to James Starks”.
