The Green Bay Packers secured a convincing 34-0 shutout victory over the New Orleans Saints, showcasing a dominant performance on both sides of the ball.
Much like last week’s 30-13 win over the Seattle Seahawks, Josh Jacobs set the tone early with 29 yards on four carries on the opening drive. That included a vicious stiff arm of New Orleans’ star safety Tyrann Mathieu. The Packers finished off the drive with a two-yard pass to Dontayvion Wicks to take a 7-0 lead.

He is everything that the Packers were hoping Quay Walker was when they drafted him in the first round in 2022. His presence continued to be all over the field in the second half. He looks every bit like a potential star at linebacker. That’s something the Packers have not had since the days of Nick Barnett roaming the middle of the field.Tucker Kraft may not be there yet, but he will soon have an argument to be Green Bay’s best tight end since Jermichael Finley was running the seam for the Mike McCarthy-led Green Bay Packers. Kraft had a big conversion on a 4th down that set up the Packers’ second touchdown drive to give them a 14-0 lea
