Commanders @ Packers (-3.5) [Thursday]

This Kliff Kingsbury offense is lost on me. I'm not sure if there's a real plan of attack here to leverage the strengths of Washington's skill players. Two straight unsuccessful runs by Austin Ekeler followed by two uninspiring short passes is just not going to get it done.

Key Next-Gen stat - when the Commanders have NOT gotten any pressure on Love, Jordan Love has been virtually perfect. It's only under duress that he's been incompetent.

Even without Jayden Reed and working with mostly depth receivers, Jordan Love is still adamant on throwing the ball deep. I must note this later in the system.

Washington's secondary has been brutally bad. Penalties, blown coverages, slow reactions...

Jayden Daniels seems a bit scared. He's terminating his runs early. On top of that, his passes have been thrown suspiciously short.

Late in the second, the Packers seem to have picked up on Washington's tendency to lob the ball short. Credit to Jeff Hatley.

When up in the second half, Green Bay tends to shift hard to the ground game in order to close out the game. Matt LaFleur has done this now two games in a row.

Rashan Gary still singlehandedly disrupted the play despite being chipped and blocked.

Josh Jacobs is quite adept at shedding initial contact.

Green Bay's secondary has held up remarkably well, even against complete spread formations where depth would be tested.
