Sunday’s game isn’t hard to decipher.
When you boil it down, tackle football is a simple game. You block, run, catch, pass and tackle. If you cannot block, you cannot do anything on offense. And if you think that’s an oversimplification, take a look at the Packers.
Aaron Rodgers has been under pressure on 54 of his dropbacks and has allowed 18 sacks. To make matters worse, the Packers are only converting 38.36 percent of their third downs — good for 19th in the league and well below last year’s 43.46 percent.
