Packers smacked in Pittsburgh

The Green Bay Packers showed a lack of defensive depth late in its 28-9 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday.

 

Trey Smack did not pack his training camp struggles for the trip, drilling three field goals and one other that was negated by a penalty. Of his four kicks that went through the uprights, two of them were from 58 yards out. It was 9-7 Packers with less than three minutes in the third quarter when Drew Allar led his first of three touchdown drives as the defensive line struggled to get to the quarterback and the Steelers' tight ends ran free. Allar ended the evening 10-13 with 153 yards and two touchdowns.

 

Jordan Love's night ended after the first drive, going 3-5 for 18 yards as he led the Packers to an opening drive field goal. Backup Kyle McCord opened eyes in relief of Love and Tyrod Taylor, throwing for 102 yards on 12 completions. Isaiah Neyor led the Packers in receiving with four grabs for 34 yards while Damien Martinez led the team in rushing with 20 yards on eight carries. 

 

The Packers will have an open practice on Sunday as they begin preparations for their next preseason game against the Denver Broncos.
