The Packers arrive in New Orleans looking to improve to 3-0, while Drew Brees and the Saints aim to bounce back after a loss to the Raiders on Monday Night Football.
as his heir apparent, the two-time MVP has started the season with the attitude of a man who seems hell-bent on proving he remains an elite quarterback despite being three months short of his 37th birthday. Rodgers has passed for a combined 604 yards, six touchdowns and no interceptions for a 119.4 passer rating and should be relishing the chance of facing a defense that has given up 7.1 yards per pass attempt so far this season.
Aaron Rodgers #12 and Davante Adams #17 of the Green Bay Packers celebrate after scoring a touchdown in the third quarter against the Detroit Lions at Lambeau Field on September 20 in Green Bay, Wisconsin.In the Saints' loss to the Raiders, Brees finished 26-of-38 for 312 yards for one touchdown, one interception and a passer rating of 91.1—which was higher than those of Patrick Mahomes, Kyler Murray and Tom Brady, all of whom led their teams to a win this weekend.
As per ESPN Stats & Information data, the 41-year-old averages 4.82 air yards on his passes so far this season, which is both his lowest average through the first two weeks of the season since joining the Saints in 2006 and the lowest figure of any quarterback in the NFL at this stage of the season since Brett Favre in 2009.
"I feel good, I feel good. Borderline great. [...] There are many statistics I do not pay one bit of attention to—and that [air yards on passes] would be one of them.""You can never take that for granted or let your guard down, because as soon as you do, he's going to go out there and dice you and hang 45 on you,"LaFleur told reporters earlier this week.
