Packers look to answer questions against Jets Sunday

The Green Bay Packers hope to bounce back from a disappointing result last week when they play the New York Jets on the road on Sunday.

 

The Packers made history for all the wrong reasons on Sunday as they watched another double-digit second-half lead evaporate and turn into a 39-22 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Things started to unravel after the Packers extended their lead to 22-10 on a Trey Smack field goal. The Vikings scored four touchdowns after the three-minute mark in the third quarter, three of which happened within a span of less than three minutes. Jordan Love nearly threw for 400 yards to go along with two touchdowns, but a lost fumble, a late pick, and an inaccurate day (21-42) led to his team's demise. The Packers' rushing attack also struggled against the Vikings' defensive front with Marshawn Lloyd's 37 yards on 13 carries the high water mark for the team.   Their current losing streak of six games dating back to last season is the franchise's longest since the early 90s. 

 

The Jets scored in every quarter of its 23-10 win over the Tennessee Titans last week. Geno Smith threw for 215 yards and Breece Hall rushed for 102 yards and a touchdown in the Jets victory.

 

Kickoff is set for noon on Sunday.
