Packers back home after ending four-game skid

That Aaron Rodgers who carved up the Eagles all night on Monday night? “We had a number of third and manageable distances”, Rodgers said after the game. He’s even better than that.

They certainly didn’t look like a team that had been holding opposing defenses to an average of 9.5 points per game at home, a number the Packers eclipsed on the first play of the second quarter.

Green Bay coach Mike McCarthy said he wasn’t sure how the injury would affect Rodgers for the rest of the season.

Rodgers explained in a little more detail after the game.

McCarthy had been getting stodgy with his formations and personnel groupings, leading to predictable play calls.

Likewise, the Packers continued to make mistakes defensively. But Green Bay dominated on both sides of the ball from that point forward, controlling the game on offense and never again allowing Wentz and Co.to reach the red zone. Rodgers threw the pass into a tight window. They are still are incredibly young on offense. Rodgers completed 30-of-39 passing attempts in a 27-13 victory that righted the Packers’ ship.

Carson Wentz had 254 yards passing, ran for a score and threw an interception. Through all that, he didn’t have a sack or a turnover to go with his 2 TDs. Lamar Miller leads the Texans ground attack with 881 yards and 3 touchdowns and DeAndre Hopkins is the top receiver with 55 catches and 3 touchdowns. “They’ve been taking it on the chin the last couple of weeks, but they had a lot of faith in the plan this week and they stuck together”.

Fletcher Cox earned one of the largest contracts in National Football League history this summer because of his ability to get to quarterbacks, but the Eagles probably hoped their Pro Bowl defensive tackle would be making legal hits on signal-callers more often.

The crowd quickly got back into it once the Eagles got the ball.

After salvaging a win in the final leg of an unusual three-game road swing that started with two crushing losses, the Packers move into December looking at an advantageous schedule. The Packers went up 14-7.

Most notably was a drive in the fourth quarter. He feeds on rhythm and builds on early success.

Thanks primarily to a surgical, near-perfect performance by Rodgers on Monday night in Philadelphia, the still-in-contention Packers woke up just in the nick of time.

The strength of the Philadelphia Eagles’ defense has been its pass rush.

Matthews, who has appeared in only seven of the Packers’ 11 games this season, is understandably frustrated with yet another injury setback.

From this game, it is clear that the Eagles have way to many holes.

The result saw the Packers improve to 5-6. “That’s big and that’s the type of things I expect from Jordy and Randall (Cobb) because that’s the type of thing they’ve done around here for a long time”. Rodgers hit five other receivers as well.
