On paper, the Green Bay Packers performed well against the Carolina Panthers. Jordan Love completed 26 passes, more than double that of Panthers QB Bryce Young, and threw for 273 yards, his fourth-most of the season.
But instead of engaging in a shootout, the Panthers forced Green Bay into a drawn-out brawl, leaning on a consistent run game with RB Rico Dowdle to chew away at the clock, and deep coverages to limit explosive plays by the Green Bay offense.
By the end of the day, the Packers put together just seven drives, the fewest by the team so far this season.
