You know it’s a bad night when a fifth-string defensive end provided the only highlight, but Zach Morton’s safety provided the only scoring for the Packers in their loss at the Broncos.
The Green Bay Packers were trounced 27-2 by the Denver Broncos in Sunday night’s preseason game. The score no doubt was of much less importance to coach Matt LaFleur than the performance of his backup quarterbacks and offensive tackles.
When the offense stepped back on the field with 30 seconds left in the half, LaFleur replaced Clifford with rookie Michael Pratt. Packers training camp will conclude training camp with a practice on Tuesday, a joint practice against the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday and the preseason finale against the Ravens at Lambeau Field on Saturday.The first real highlight of the night was supplied by Zach Morton. Late in the third quarter, Morton lined up at right defensive end and looped up the middle. Broncos lineman Will Sherman didn’t see Morton until Morton’s No. 60 was on top of quarterback Zach Wilson for a safety.
Defensively, the Broncos went nine plays for a field goal and 11 plays for a touchdown as rookie Bo Nix went 8-of-9 for 80 yards and a touchdown in leading the No. 1 offense for two series. While it was starters vs. backups, the Packers’ touted defensive line depth was underwhelming. Lukas Van Ness had a pressure but that was about it.
