The Green Bay Packers cornerbacks versus the Minnesota Vikings receivers. It was a matchup on paper that didn’t come close to favoring the Packers, but Corey Ballentine stepped in last minute and delivered an impressive performance against an impressive group of receivers.
Ballentine was targeted heavily in this one by the Minnesota quarterbacks, throwing his direction nine times. However, Ballentine allowed only three receptions for 33 yards with two forced incompletions and an interception that led to seven points for the Green Bay offense.
Of those nine targets, three of them came with Ballentine covering Justin Jefferson, but he didn’t allow a reception.
