Buffalo Bills | Aaron Rodgers, who is currently in his 18th NFL season, was only a pro for one season. Quay Walker and Romeo Doubs, current rookies, were only six years old. Additionally, Matt LaFleur, the head coach, coached quarterbacks at Northern Michigan.

The Green Bay Packers last finished 3-5 in the year 2006, which was. till Sunday evening.

The floundering Packers travelled to Buffalo, which is possibly the finest team in the NFL, and were destroyed by the formidable Buffalo Bills.

Josh Allen, the quarterback for the Buffalo Bills, tossed for two touchdowns, the Green Bay defence once more faltered, and the Buffalo Bills won 27-17.

Buffalo bills owns the top record in the AFC with a 6-1 record improvement. For the first time since 2016, the Packers (3-5) dropped their fourth straight game and now trail Minnesota (6-1) by three and a half games in the NFC North.

The good, terrible, and ugly from Buffalo Bills victory over the Packers are listed here.

THE GOOD

The Packers made every effort to start the run, keep possession of the ball, and prevent Allen from getting it. And Green Bay excelled at doing that.

The Packers averaged 6.7 yards per carry while rushing for a season-high 208 yards. Additionally, this offensive strategy may have been effective enough to pull off a major upset if the defence had performed better.

On 20 carries, Aaron Jones amassed a season-high 143 yards in rushing and added four receptions. Jones averaged an astounding 7.2 yards per carry and had a long run of 32 yards.

The majority of A.J. Dillon’s 54 yards on 10 runs (5.4) and both running backs’ gains came after contact.

Green Bay enjoyed nearly 17 minutes of possession thanks to its 83 running yards in the first half. Even though their passing game was terrible until the closing minutes, the Packers still managed to gain 125 yards on the ground in the second half.

Green Bay may yet be able to save this poor season if it adheres to this plan in the coming weeks.

ROMEO DOUBS

Nobody needed a boost to their self-esteem more than rookie wide receiver Doubs, who had four targets last week but failed to make a single grab.

With a 19-yard circus catch for a touchdown midway through the second quarter that brought the Packers within 14-7, Doubs should have received just that.

Taron Johnson, a cornerback, was whirled around by Doubs, who then had to twist back himself to make the deft catch. Doubs made one of the Packers’ most remarkable catches of the season by getting down with both feet and maintaining control of the ball.

Doubs concluded the night with four catches for 67 yards and added a 26-yard catch in the fourth quarter.

THESE TWO THINGS 

Rasul Douglas and Jaire Alexander, two cornerbacks, each made interceptions in the fourth quarter. Just four interceptions had been thrown by Allen through the first six weeks of the season. Samori Toure, a rookie, scored for the first time in his career in the fourth quarter after catching a 37-yard pass from Aaron Rodgers.

THE TERIBBLE

THEODORE WATSON: The second-round draught pick of Green Bay has had a difficult year.

Watson had knee surgery and missed a significant portion of training camp. Additionally, he has missed three games due to a hamstring injury, including the most recent two games.

Watson made a comeback on Sunday, but only for eight plays.

Rodgers hit Watson for 12 yards on a middle screen in a third-and-15 situation. Watson, however, was concussed by Tremaine Edmunds’ tackle and was unable to continue.

Last week, Packers wide receivers coach Jason Vrable said of Watson, “I think in any offence, you want a speedy man on the field, at least at one of your receiver positions, to open things up.” “People respect his speed instinctively. He is huge and strong. All of you can see that stuff.

“Clearly, if you’re on defence and you watch the footage, you have to respect that pace because he will run by people. I’m eager to see where he stands heading into this game since he did such an excellent job of rehabbing, returning, and feeling terrific.

Watson was ready to go going into the competition. However, Watson was in poor form when the game was over, as has happened far too often this season.

LOSING LINEBACKERS

After pushing Buffalo bills practice squad tight end Zach Davidson on the Bills’ sideline, Green Bay rookie linebacker Quay Walker was assessed an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty and was later kicked out of the game.

Given that it seems Davidson was attempting to prevent Walker from falling, it was a foolish, self-centered choice.

Only a few minutes later, Packers inside linebacker De’Vondre Campbell left the game due to an injury to his right knee, leaving Green Bay shockingly short at the position.

The Packers used Isaiah McDuffie and Eric Wilson at inside linebacker in the second half in place of Walker and Campbell.

FOURTH DOWN FAILURE

Early in the fourth quarter, the Packers were behind 27-10 and faced a fourth-and-1 after driving to Buffalo’s 26.

Green Bay sent Jones up the middle after running the ball at will all night. However, Buffalo bills defensive end Von Miller destroyed the Packers’ right side of the offensive line, opening the door for cornerback Taron Johnson to rush in unimpeded and take down Jones for a 1-yard loss.

UNDER PRESSURE

Buffalo bills applied great pressure the entire night, especially up the middle.

Tackles Tim Settle and Ed Oliver had a major impact the entire evening. Even though Rodgers only suffered two sacks, many of his dropbacks were hampered by pressure.

Elgton Jenkins, the left guard for Green Bay, was a late scratch due to a foot injury. Zach Tom, a rookie who took Jenkins’ place, occasionally felt outmatched.

THIS AND THAT

Aaron Rodgers, the quarterback for the Packers, made his fourth pick-six of the year. In total, Rodgers only threw four interceptions in 2021, four in 2019, and just two in 2018. … Sammy Watkins’ homecoming was disappointing after spending the first three years of his career in Buffalo. Watkins only caught one ball for a gain of three yards. To begin the second half, Keisan Nixon returned a kickoff 49 yards, but the play was called back due to an Innis Gaines holding penalty. … Green Bay lost against Buffalo, dropping to 0-7 all-time.
