Christian Watson's play and some early defensive stops are among Jim Polzin's likes from the Packers' victory over the Chiefs.
Jordan Love, Christian Watson and Matt LaFleur are topics as Green Bay won Sunday night for the fourth time in five games.
The quarterback, who was thrown into the fire against the Chiefs in 2021, was nearly perfect in the first half Sunday against Kansas City.
There's very little to complain about in all 3 facets for the Packers in their victory. Here’s how columnist Jim Polzin graded Green Bay’s performance.
A 4-1 stretch has put Matt LaFleur's team in the hunt for the postseason. Now comes his biggest challenge: Getting his young team to not look too far ahead.
The Packers were 2-5 but if the season ended today, they would be in the playoffs. Matt LaFleur has spared his young team of Jim Mora's famed "Playoffs" rant.
In his last two games the second-year receiver has 13 passes for 165 yards and four TDs, but he exited early against the Chiefs due to an injury.
Said Packers coach Matt LaFleur of his defense: "It seems to be getting better and better each and every week.”
“I know it didn’t come out the way you want it to come out, but it just felt a little bit different," Packers coach Matt LaFleur said of the 23-19 defeat Nov. 12.
The Packers scored five first-half TDs combined the past two weeks after struggling earlier in the season.
Injured Packers wide receiver Christian Watson still said he's uncertain to play Monday night against the Giants.
The veteran cornerback remains out of the lineup with a shoulder issue and says his playing status is "week to week."
The Packers listed oft-injured Aaron Jones as questionable after he participated in all 3 practices this past week.
The Giants' blitz reliance and Giants running back Saquon Barkley are among things worth paying attention to in the Packers' game Monday night.
The shift in philosophy has helped the quarterback gain take ownership and spark the offense.
Packers coach Matt LaFleur lamented the defense's play on the Giants' winning drive — and its play throughout the game.
