Green Bay Packers rolling behind offensive line

Otherwise, there weren’t many bright spots for the Giants’ defensive backfield. NY managed three field goals, including a 30-yarder by Josh Brown on the sixth of those possessions that cut Green Bay’s lead to 17-9 with 5:26 left in the third quarter. Lacy delivered a similar assessment of the injury after the game.

Unlike in 2015, the Packers show enough flashes on offense to indicate that they can get on track and stay there.

The Giants finally got their first defensive takeaways of the season Sunday night.

A little dramatic, you say?

With the Dallas Cowboys and rookie running back sensation Ezekiel Elliott next on the schedule, the Green Bay Packers probably need their No. 1 rusher Eddie Lacy more than ever. They move to 2-3 and continue to fall in the NFC East standings.

Going into this season, there was much hype surrounding the New York Giants’ trio of wide receivers. The Packers extended their lead to 20-9 with 13:46 left in the fourth. On another night when they needed him to be Rambo, he was Lambo. The 2015 first-round draft pick put his hands on ESPN reporter Jordan Raanan in the locker room after the game.

It is concerning at this point that the Giants can not create a passing offense against a secondary without its two top cornerbacks. The acrobatic receiver had only 23 yards during the Giants’ Week 4 road defeat in Minnesota. It’s not hard to devise a game plan when you know exactly who’s going to be on the field. “But the main goal is to win the game”. Green Bay’s secondary played well, especially considering the Packers (3-1) were without starting cornerbacks Sam Shields (concussion) and Damarious Randall (groin).

The Packers defense held the Giants to a paltry 219 total yards and Manning’s longest completion was a 27 yard hookup to a tight end.

Beckham’s TD came on an acrobatic catch in the back of the end zone with 2:54 remaining in the game.

Cobb left the game on that final play after taking a hit to the head.

Wide receivers Jordy Nelson and Davante Adams each caught touchdown passes in the first half as the Packers marched out to a 14-3 lead midway through the second quarter and a 17-6 advantage at the intermission. Rainey had six catches for 52 yards and five carries for 22 yards in Sunday’s game. Through five games the Giants top two pass rushers Jason Pierre-Paul (JPP) and Olivier Vernon have two sacks. Starks has struggled early this year averaging just under 2 yards per carry. On the next play Manning was sacked by Kyler Fackrell and fumbled and the Packers recovered and kicked a field goal four plays later. After having a bye week to evaluate things, coach Mike McCarthy came out with a game plan he might have dusted off from 2011. Manning threw behind Sterling Shepard on third down, the ball hitting Packers safety Micah Hyde in the shoulder, and Brown connected again from 41 yards. It seems like defenses are ready every time he audibles into a run play and a dive is invariably swallowed up immediately. He just overthrew tight end Will Tye who was running all alone down the seam. “We need to execute better”. He went 23 of 45 for 259 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions.
