To put it bluntly, the Green Bay Packers receiver corps was a total and complete disaster on Sunday in the rain versus the Detroit Lions. They were the single biggest reason the offense could not score more than 14 points versus their division rival, who only managed 17 points on offense. To be somewhat fair to the receivers here, briefly, it did not help that Jordan Love also threw an inexplicable interception that ended up as a pick-six.
Earlier this season, I wrote about how two of Jordan Love’s three turnovers versus Minnesota were primarily receiver errors and how these plays can change narratives and perceptions.
