Defense’s continued struggles raise questions over how much longer Packers can stay in playoff hunt

Associated Press  

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones says he believes he’s part of a playoff-caliber team. After Tommy DeVito of the New York Giants and Tampa Bay’s Baker Mayfield each earned NFC offensive player of the week honors for leading their teams to victories over Green Bay, Packers coach Matt LaFleur was fielding questions about defensive coordinator Joe Barry’s job security. Even after Green Bay’s Anders Carlson put the Packers ahead by kicking a 32-yard field goal with 19 seconds left, Young drove the Panthers into position for a tying field goal before time ran out. … As well as the offense played for much of the game, the Packers went three-and-out two straight times in the fourth quarter to assist the Panthers’ comeback.
