![]() Gang Green sacked Rodgers four times, tied for his season-high that occurred in Week 1 at the Minnesota Vikings, and left him flummoxed when dropping back to pass all day. The Green Bay's offensive line struggled all day to generate any push off the line of scrimmage. New York's offensive coordinator, Mike LaFleur, Matt's younger brother, dialed up an offense that outran the Packers 179-60. The Jets were simply the stronger team, literally, on both sides of the ball. 500 for the first time since the 2015 season when they went 10-6 with head coach Todd Bowles and quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick leading the way.Īfter winning 13 games in each of LaFleur's first three seasons, Green Bay has matched its loss total (three) from the 20 seasons (finished 13-3 in both years), and the Packers are one defeat away from equaling their losses amount from their 13-4 campaign a year ago. Hall has become the first Jets rookie with a rushing touchdown in three games in a row since Tony Pagie in the 1984 season. He totaled 116 rushing yards and a touchdown on 20 carries this week with his 34-yard rushing touchdown effectively serving as the knockout punch against a struggling Packers bunch on both sides of the ball. Wilson is the first Jets quarterback to win his first three starts of a season since Mark Sanchez in 2009, the first season of New York's consecutive AFC title game appearances.īreece Hall had another standout performance a week after setting the Jets' rookie scrimmage yards record with 197 against the Dolphins in Week 5. They had averaged only 17.3 points per game under the stewardship of 37-year-old backup quarterback Joe Flacco in the first three weeks of the 2022 season. ![]() New York's three-game winning streak coincides with quarterback Zach Wilson's return from a knee injury, averaging 29.3 points per game with him at the helm this season since Week 4. Green Bay had a punt and field goal blocked in the same game for the first time since they did so against the San Francisco 49ers in the 2021 NFC divisional round last season. Green Bay's 13 drives included five punts, a blocked field goal, a lost fumble, three turnovers on downs and a blocked punt returned for touchdown. The Jets defense had Aaron Rodgers and the Packers offense without any type of rhythm all afternoon. Also, Green Bay now has its first losing streak of the Matt LaFleur era, since 2019. The Packers had multiple streaks snapped: their second-longest home regular-season winning streak at Lambeau Field in franchise history, their 12-game winning streak - straight up and against the spread - after a loss (the longest streak by any team since the 1970 AFL/NFL merger). ![]() The Jets have their first three-game winning streak since Weeks 10-12 in the 2019 season. Two long-standing trends - the Packers' run of avoiding losing streaks and the Jets' inability to string together a three-game winning streak - have come to an end as New York snapped Green Bay's 15-game, regular-season winning streak at Lambeau Field with a 27-10 win Sunday.
