GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Green Bay Packers defensive backs boasted before the season about the possibility of being the NFL’s best secondary.
It didn’t take long for them to get a reality check.
The Packers (0-1) are preparing for Sunday night’s game with the Chicago Bears (1-0) while trying to figure out what went wrong in a season-opening 23-7 defeat at Minnesota. The Packers lost that game in part because they couldn’t cover Justin Jefferson, who scored two touchdowns and had nine catches for a career-high 184 yards.
“We know for a fact that we’re better than what we put out there,” cornerback Eric Stokes said.
