Associated PressGREEN BAY, Wis. — The Green Bay Packers continued their habit for slow starts with perhaps their worst first-half performance yet. We’re losing games, and it’s all games that we should be winning, I think, that we’re right there.” The Packers entered Sunday ranked at the bottom of the league in first-half scoring, but they led the NFL with 17.3 second-half points per game. The Packers finally got a first down on their fifth series of the game with just over four minutes left in the first half, drawing a sarcastic round of applause from the Lambeau Field crowd. You’ve got to go out there and execute and give yourself an opportunity to win games.” Green Bay gave itself an opportunity in narrow losses at Denver and Las Vegas because its offense finally woke up in the second half. They finally scored on Anders Carlson’s 30-yard field goal to end the first half to cut Minnesota’s lead to 10-3, but they followed that up with an interception that helped the Vikings break the game open.
