Green Bay Packers Offense Analysis
The Jordan Love and Christian Watson connection is heating up. Hopefully, Watson’s injury in the fourth quarter will not sideline him too long. Love and Watson connected for two touchdowns against the Chiefs. They are playing how many of us expected they would after watching the preseason.
Dontayvion Wicks and Romeo Doubs made their presence felt as well. The Packers skill group as a whole has stepped up. The offense is starting to click on all gears, just in time to make a playoff run.

Green Bay Packers Defense Analysis
It’s not the prettiest, but the Green Bay Packers are the epitome of bend, don’t break. Again, The defense did just enough to win and force a late-game turnover. They still struggle to stop the run, but the pass defense has been solid outside of leaving guys wide open on third down.
I don’t understand how they keep holding teams to what they do, but something works. The Packers are currently the number nine scoring defense in the league. This defense should keep improving as they get Jaire Alexander and Eric Stokes back.
