Scouting the Packers
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers leads the league in passing touchdowns (39) and passer rating (119.7). He's thrown just four interceptions for the lowest interception percentage (0.9) among qualified quarterbacks, and his 3,685 passing yards trail only Patrick Mahomes (4,208) and Deshaun Watson (3,761). Rodgers needs just one touchdown pass to become the first quarterback in NFL history with three seasons of at least 40 touchdown passes.
Green Bay's offense tops the NFL with 31.5 points per game and is second with 397.6 net yards per game.
The Packers are second in passing yards (273.8) and 10th in rushing yards (123.8). They've allowed only 14 sacks (2nd) and have converted 49.7 percent of their third-down tries (2nd) while giving it away just nine times (t-1st).
Plus, Green Bay has converted touchdowns on 77.1 percent of all red zone drives, the second-highest percentage in the NFL since that stat was made available in 2000.
