Packers searching for answers regarding their offense’s frequent first-half struggles

Associated Press  

GREEN BAY, Wis. — The Green Bay Packers are like a finicky old car that needs several hits to the ignition before finally making some progress. “It’s just a matter of how fast we can pick up on it and keep our foot on the gas whenever we get started.” This marks the first time the Packers have gone four straight games without scoring a first-half touchdown since 1988, according to Sportsradar. We’ve got to find a way to not only put our guys in a better position, whether it’s by scheme or whatever, but then we’ve got to go out there and execute it, especially when we get the looks that we’re looking for.” Green Bay’s issues on offense shouldn’t come as much of a surprise in the Packers’ first season since trading four-time MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers to the New York Jets. We keep talking about it, we keep focusing on it and making sure we’re focused, we’re dialed in and every drive is important.” Watson said the Packers need to get more big plays early in games rather than having to rely on extended drives. “Once you start rolling fast, put up some points, make some plays, the momentum is going to start going.” NOTES: Cornerback Jaire Alexander, linebacker De’Vondre Campbell, tight end Luke Musgrave and center Josh Myers are questionable for Sunday’s game.
