It sounds simple, but it’s not always easy to execute. The Green Bay Packers typically try to emphasize utilizing their best players on offense. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn’t, as evidenced by two very different performances between Week 1 and Week 2. If it wasn’t already oblivious, feeding their playmakers against the Detroit Lions led the Packers to their first win of the 2021 season.
“I really felt like going into this game, from an offensive perspective, we needed to get our playmakers the ball,” head coach Matt LaFleur said during his postgame presser.
