5 standouts from Packers’ preseason loss to New York Jets

Highlighting five standouts from the Packers’ 23-14 loss to the Jets on Saturday.

It was a fun game to watch, but the Green Bay Packers fell to the New York Jets by the final score of 23-14 on Saturday at Lambeau Field. The Packers remain winless through the first two weeks of preseason.

Without the starters, Joe Barry’s defense has had major lapses. Last week, the run defense was almost nonexistent, and things continued to look out of sorts in Week 2. Poor tackling and communication plagued Green Bay’s defense in a substandard showing against the Jets’ offense. However, the offense managed to keep things interesting despite only two scoring drives.

Here are five standouts from the Packers’ second preseason game:

A number of players on the offensive and defensive side of the ball stood out in their first action of the year.

4 standouts from Packers’ preseason loss to Texans

Highlighting four standouts from the Packers’ preseason opener against the Texans, including two on offense and two on defense.

The Green Bay Packers fell to the Houston Texans by a score of 26-7 on Saturday night in the preseason opener. Luckily, it was only an exhibition.

The Packers’ offense was forced to punt six times and totaled just 49 rushing yards on 21 attempts. Meanwhile, the run defense wasn’t able to pick up the slack as Green Bay surrendered 170 yards to the Texans’ ground attack.

The Packers sat most of their starters and escaped the first week of the preseason without any major injuries. That is a win in any NFL team’s book and is definitely one of the brighter takeaways from this matchup.

Stars, Studs, and Duds, Week 14: Saints standouts vs. Eagles

New Orleans Saints players like WR Michael Thomas and K Wil Lutz stood out against the Philadelphia Eagles, but for very different reasons.

There’s just three weeks left to play in the regular season, making the New Orleans Saints’ failure to clinch the NFC South look uglier by the minute. Time is running out for them to secure homefield advantage in the postseason, and another embarrassing loss or two like this defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles could put them back a long way.

But there were a few silver linings in Week 14. Let’s get into this week’s stars, studs, and duds:
