NFL Power Rankings: 49ers Losing Streak Ties a Franchise Record Entering Week 12
By Peter Panacy
Oh, to be a Green Bay Packers fan.
The only reason the Packers are slightly higher than the Cardinals right now is because quarterback Aaron Rodgers still managed to dazzle in spite of the ugly 42-24 defeat at the hands of the Washington Redskins on Sunday Night Football.
Rodgers was 26-of-41 for 351 yards and three touchdowns. Too bad the future Hall-of-Famer’s stats don’t count on the defensive side of the ball.
Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins outdueled Rodgers in every stat line. And Green Bay’s run defense couldn’t stop Washington tailback Robert Kelley, who ran for 137 yards and three touchdowns of his own.
So when the Packers are 4-6 this late in the season and are coming off a game in which they allowed 515 yards, it’s safe to say things aren’t so bright in Green Bay right now.
