Coming off a dominant display against the New Orleans Saints, the Green Bay Packers (1-1) head to Kansas City to take on the Chiefs (1-1) in their preseason finale. The Packers entered this game looking to find out who will clinch the final roster spots available and looking to replicate a strong performance on all fronts last week.
The Chiefs opened on offense by honoring the great Len Dawson’s legacy and coming out in the choir huddle with the starting offense and taking a delay of game penalty. Rest in peace to a legendary NFL Player, and my condolences go out to his family.
The offense struggled to open the half, with a pair of punts on their first two drives but quickly turned things around at the end of the first quarter with a great drive by Love and a 24 yard touchdown run by Goodson to open the second quarter. This success continued into the rest of the second quarter but a would-be touchdown drive was stalled by a couple of bad penalties on the offensive-line that resulted in the Packers settling for 3. On the offense’s final drive, Jordan Love started strong but was unable to lead the offense into field goal range, throwing a deep pass into double coverage that was intercepted, one of few mistakes this game.
The defense also struggled at the start of the half but only gave up 3 points on the first couple drives. The struggles continued as third string Chiefs quarterback Shane Buechele carved up the defense on his first drive, going 4/4 for 76 yards and a touchdown on a deep 54 yard strike. On the final meaningful drive of the half, the defense had a quick 3-and-out featuring a great PBU by Krys Barnes.
Pat O’Donnell has looked stellar for the Packers, with his pair of punts going for an average of 62.5 yards, with a long of 69 yards.
