The Green Bay Packers (2-1) held a 10-0 lead in the final five minutes, only to collapse down the stretch and lose 13-10 to the Cleveland Browns (1-2) at Huntington Bank Field.
The Packers were in control for the majority of the game, but as the old adage goes everything that could go wrong, did go wrong.
I thought the defense played mostly phenomenal today, that unit certainly deserved a better fate.
The major headline this week will be the offense.
The offense all starts up front. The offensive line was brutal today and Jordan Love was less than stellar. The offensive line was so bad and unbalanced the whole game.
I was bothered that Matt LaFleur didn’t go with the quick game with how poorly the offensive line played. That’s the most head scratching thing to me. At some point you need to adjust.
Jordan Love’s interception with 3:18 left was not a good decision on his part. It was disappointing because he’s been so good this year with his decision making.
Rich Bisaccia’s Special Teams unit had a rough day & directly contributed to the loss today.
The Packers committed 14 penalties today. Sure, there were some ticky tack calls at times from Carl Cheffers and crew. But that many penalties is inexcusable! What an unfocused and undisciplined performance.
Today was Cleveland’s first win after being held scoreless through three quarters & coming back to win since Week 3 of 2003 at the 49ers when they trailed 9-0 & won 13-12.
I guess the silver lining is the Packers got this bad loss out of the way since these losses usually happen in the playoffs.
I’ll have to rewatch the game at some point in the next day or two and maybe I’ll have more thoughts.
