Slow starts are becoming all too familiar for the Green Bay Packers. They entered halftime without scoring a single point in Sunday’s loss to the Detroit Lions, the second time they have failed to score in the opening two quarters this season.
In fact, after five games, the Packers are averaging just 8.6 points per game in the opening two quarters. Compare that to 2014, when they averaged an impressive 19.4 points in the first half.
While the defense still has work to do, Sunday’s loss can’t be blamed on Mike Pettine’s unit.
