Packers: Red-zone offense, poor defense leads to first loss of season

The Packers have now lost their first game of the year, and it’s one they had every opportunity to win.

Let’s talk about that offense.

There were positives. Aaron Rodgers looked close to his best, throwing for 422 yards and two touchdowns against an Eagles secondary struggling with injuries. Unfortunately, his final pass was tipped in the air and intercepted in the end zone.

The negatives started with the run game. Aaron Jones had 13 carries but only managed 21 yards with a touchdown against the Eagles’ defense.

In the end, the red-zone offense wasn’t good enough.
