Packers searching for answers after 4th consecutive loss
Associated PressThe previous time the Green Bay Packers lost four straight games, they followed it up with a remarkable stretch run that ended just one step shy of the Super Bowl. Green Bay is two games below.500 for the first time in coach Matt LaFleur’s four-year tenure after falling 27-17 at Buffalo. “We’ve just got to put it together now.” Green Bay’s recent results suggest the Packers actually might not have enough firepower to repeat their 2016 surge. We haven’t put up any points early in games to get our defense to have a chance to pin their ears back and get after the passer.” WHAT’S WORKING The Packers ran for a season-high 208 yards against a Buffalo defense that had been allowing the fewest yards rushing per game of any team before Sunday. STOCK DOWN CB Eric Stokes continued his season-long struggles and was briefly removed from the game in the second quarter before returning.. S Darnell Savage had a number of missed tackles, most notably when QB Josh Allen scrambled 20 yards on a third-and-14 play to set up Buffalo’s first touchdown.. WR Sammy Watkins has just three catches for 39 yards in two games since getting activated from injured reserve.
