Green Bay Packers (3-3) – New York Jets (4-2): 10-27
Between a favorite Packers team “on paper” but in full doubt and a Jets team in full confidence, the poster was announced tight. And in this duel between two squads with different dynamics, it was the Jets who emerged victorious.
The Jets’ defense must first be highlighted, since it made Aaron Rodgers (26/41, 246 yards, 1 TD) experience an ordeal. The reigning double MVP does not trust his receivers, he is abandoned by his line and by the playcalling. It’s too much even for a player of such talent. Quinnen Williams (2 sacks) and Sauce Gardner (2 passes defended) embody this dominance, with a performance that puts this squad among the best in the league.
The special team also got the job done with a touchdown on a blocked punt, while the attack lived by streak. Invisible in the first half, in the wake of a discreet Zach Wilson (10/18, 110 yards), she was especially able to count on a gala Breece Hall (121 yards, 1 TD) and a Michael Carter (41 yards). ) wait-and-see, establishing valuable ground dominance.
With this victory, New York can dream of playoffs, which has not happened for 10 years. For Green Bay, it will be necessary to be mentally strong to recover from two losses in a row against the teams of New York.
D-Fense!
If you like offensive and flamboyant play, the first half is not for you. Six punts to start, two missed field goals for as many successful in this first act, the defenses are dominant (3-3).
The main reason is simple: defensive lines walk on offensive lines, and quarterbacks aren’t in the game. No solutions, and coaches a little lost on the play calls. Fortunately, the match will get carried away in the second act. The tactical approach of the Packers questioned in particular with an underuse of the running game, not allowing AJ Dillon (52 yards) and Aaron Jones (44 yards) to show themselves.
New York on fire!
When New York wakes up, it shows. Zach Wilson finds Corey Davis to allow Braxton Berrios to score the touchdown on the ground. A few minutes later, Will Parks returns a blocked punt for touchdown (3-17). Robert Saleh’s men succeed in everything they try.
Green Bay will believe back in the game for a few minutes, with a touchdown from Allen Lazard (10-17). But it’s more of a last stand than a comeback, since the Jets will kill the show very quickly.
The strategy is clear: soil, soil and more soil. Breece Hall headlined, the latter scoring the winning touchdown with a run of 34 yards (10-24). A field goal will complete the demonstration of New York, which can see the future with confidence after an XXL performance at Lambeau field.
