Coming into Week 9 as the only team in the NFC with one loss, the Green Bay Packers no longer hold that distinction after dropping to 5-2-1 for the season with an ugly 16-13 defeat at Lambeau Field to the Carolina Panthers, who actually now have the exact same number of wins, as they improved to 5-4 with the victory.
Thankfully for Green Bay, the Detroit Lions were upset by the Minnesota Vikings, thus keeping the Packers in first place in the NFC North.
Nevertheless, this was still a defeat that could have been avoided, especially given that Panthers quarterback Bryce Young completed just 55 percent of his passes for a measly 102 yards, with zero touchdowns and an interception.
