The Green Bay Packers’ 17-point comeback win over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday at Lambeau Field was impressive enough on its own. The 2023 home opener. Down big in the fourth quarter. Jordan Love’s first start in Green Bay. Facing a top defense. Coming off last week’s disappointing finish in Atlanta.
The victory is made even more incredible when considering who wasn’t available for Matt LaFleur’s team by the fourth quarter on Sunday.
Maybe the best way to understand what was missing for the Packers is looking at the salary cap.
