The Green Bay Packers will play at the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. On both sides of the ball, the run game will be the key.
With less than a week until Halloween, Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love could be ready for a monster game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Packers and Jaguars have faced each other seven times, with Green Bay leading the series 5-2. The last time they met was in Green Bay in 2020, when Aaron Rodgers led a game-winning drive, throwing the go-ahead touchdown to Davante Adams with 6 minutes left for a 24-20 victory. One key area in which Jacksonville has struggled is defending tight ends, giving up a 122.4 passer rating, which ranks 28th in the league.
The Jaguars also have an excellent ground game, ranking fourth with 5.12 yards per carry. While Travis Etienne is coming off back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons, it’s been Tank Bigsby who leads the charge with a third-ranked 6.19 yards per carry. In the Jaguars’ two recent wins, he topped 100 rushing yards with two rushing touchdowns in both.
From that perspective, Love likes the Packers’ level of explosiveness. Green Bay is tied for third with 59 explosive plays, which includes a second-ranked 26 explosive runs and a seventh-ranked 33 explosive passes .
