The matchup that settles it: Breece Hall against a front that conceded 107
New York ran 39 times and held the ball for 38:46. That is how they won a game in which they converted one third down in six.
Green Bay’s passing game is the better unit on the evidence so far. Geno Smith threw for 215 without a touchdown; Love threw for 387 with two.
Discipline rather than talent cost the Packers their opener. Twelve penalties is not a habit that survives a road trip to New Jersey.
