The Patriots make their way to Wisconsin searching for an identity after three games, an endeavor which has now been complicated thanks to an ankle injury to quarterback Mac Jones.
How can they prevent that spiral, though? And what happens to their pursuit of identity, particularly offensively?
David Andrews defined the team's identity not by describing who they are or want to be, but in terms of what they"Number one, we can't beat ourselves," Andrews said."That's the biggest thing. Kind of like I said after the game. Can't win until you stop from losing. You can do 10 good things right in the game. If you do four bad things, that can cost you a game.
"That's the Patriots way," Meyers said."We're going to tote it. I feel like any good offense has to run the ball. You can't throw it 50 times a week or vice versa. I feel like the best offenses are definitely balanced because sooner or later defenses catch on to one or the other." Jones currently leads the NFL in attempts that have traveled 20 yards or more . They want to be explosive, and they have been in spurts. Jones leads the NFL in deep completions and yards on deep passes . The cost of doing business with that kind of approach, though, has been turnovers.
Both these teams like to run. They’re tied through three weeks with 81 rush attempts, good for 11th in the NFL. The Packers are ninth in the league with 127.0 rush yards per game, and 11th with a per-carry average of 4.7 yards. Without Lawrence Guy , the Patriots will have to try to slow down Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon with Davon Godchaux, Carl Davis and Christian Barmore.
