Unexceptional Packers Offense Is Good Enough to Beat Giants

GREEN BAY, Wis. — For what it is worth to the Giants, Green Bay’s quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, wore a disgusted look while walking to the sideline almost as frequently as his counterpart on Sunday, Eli Manning.

With both teams missing critical players in the defensive secondary, Rodgers and Manning seemed likely to amass big passing statistics on Sunday night at Lambeau Field. That is not how things played out.

An unexceptional Rodgers threw for two touchdowns and two interceptions in the Packers’ 23-16 victory. Manning struggled for the second consecutive week as the Giants scored just one touchdown and lost their third straight game.
