The Packers have a Super Bowl-level defense. But now they can’t seem to score.
The Green Bay Packers have now lost two straight games in which its offense has combined to score only 20 points. It's starting to become a worry long term.
When the Green Bay Packers traded for star defensive end Micah Parsons shortly before the start of the regular season, it seemed as though the team had acquired the final piece of a championship puzzle.
And the regular season certainly started that way, when the Packers resoundingly beat the Detroit Lions and the Washington Commanders in back-to-back weeks.
After a 10-7 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night, however, Green Bay has now lost two straight games in which its offense has combined to score only 20 points. While the defense did its job Monday in limiting the Eagles to their lowest point total of the season, it’s now fair to question if the Packers’ offense can hold up its end of the bargain.
“I know as a defense, they definitely have every reason to look at us and say, ‘What are you guys doing? You guys need to figure it out and help us out and put up some more points,’ because they’re doing a great job,” Green Bay quarterback Jordan Love said postgame. “It’s frustrating, but we’ll stay together. We’ll keep the energy high and find ways to get better and be better as an offense.”
Love, 27, is one of the NFL’s up-and-coming quarterbacks who signed a four-year, $220 million contract extension with the team in July 2024. He’s had high highs and low lows so far this season.
