The Passing Chronicles: 2020 Week 2

Here we are, talking about a Packers win in which they put up 40+ points. Is this Week 1? Because surely they didn't go 2-0 while going for more than 40 in each game, right?

Oh right! They did that! And, while Rodgers had 12 fewer dropbacks then he did in Week 1, the Packers did a lot of fun stuff through the air this week. They utilized a lot of crossing routes and variations of the Mesh concept. Which makes sense, knowing that the Lions like to play a lot of man coverage.

Coverage trend to watch today: Last week, the Packers played zone coverage 81% of the time, highest of any team in Week 1 (and their highest zone usage over the last 5 years).
