Without Jordan Love, the Green Bay Packers rode one of their best rushing days in franchise history to beat the Colts 16-10 on Sunday. Afterward, the emotions got the best of Josh Myers.
GREEN BAY, Wis. – On third-and-10 in the second quarter, Green Bay Packers center Josh Myers turned to his left, puked, snapped the ball and blocked Indianapolis Colts defensive lineman Tyquan Lewis all within a span of about 1 second.On the sideline, coach Matt LaFleur had a simple question for the quarterback who the team had acquired merely 20 days earlier.
“I challenged them the other day,” LaFleur said. “We had a shaky day at practice, I think on Wednesday, and I went in there and said, ‘Hey, we’re winning this game through you guys,’ and I thought they stepped up.” “Honestly, when we got 150 in the first, I was like, ‘Let’s go for 300, 400,’” Jenkins said. “It’s definitely good, just being able to get those yards and be productive like that. I feel like the sky’s the limit for us as a team, us as an offensive line. We’ve got to keep building off this win.”
“So, if I come through and I'm like, ‘Oh, yeah, I got a hole,’ but I got to make a guy miss and now I'll be able to showcase what I feel like they brought me here for. And that's the things I get excited. It's definitely complimentary football.”“We kind of knew we didn’t have a choice, right?” Myers said. “As an offensive line coming in, we knew we were going to run the ball 50-plus times. Matt challenged us very early on in the week.
