Week 5 vs. GB

Date published: Oct. 9, 2019

GB came into this game without Davante Adams and a mediocre running attack - if the Cowboys could contain Aaron Jones, this should have been an easy win, right?

Instead, Jones was named NFC offensive player of the week after breaking off 6 rushes of 10 yards or more against the Cowboys linebackers. This, along with a +3 turnover margin, helped GB win a game it probably shouldn’t have. 

Defensive stats:

34 points

335 yards

24 first downs

2 sacks

0 takeaways

16 splashes

“Death by a thousand cuts” - Rodgers didn’t even throw for a touchdown!

Defensive tackles were dominated by the GB offensive line, which definitely impacted Jaylon and LVE’s ability to help the run game.
