Packers clinch playoff berth with 1st shutout in NFL this season, 34-0 over Saints

Associated Press  

GREEN BAY, Wis. — With a dominant defense leading the way, the Green Bay Packers clinched a playoff berth by producing their most lopsided win in a decade. Josh Jacobs gained 107 yards from scrimmage and scored a touchdown for a sixth straight game as the Packers recorded the first shutout of the NFL season, 34-0 over the hapless New Orleans Saints on Monday night. I’m proud of the way we came out there and handled business.” Green Bay secured its fifth postseason appearance in six years with its first shutout since beating Seattle 17-0 on Nov. 14, 2021. Green Bay’s defense made it a miserable night for Rattler while missing four starters because of injuries: linebacker and leading tackler Quay Walker, cornerback Jaire Alexander and safeties Evan Williams and Javon Bullard. “What’s really cool is we’re getting contributions from a lot of different people,” Packers coach Matt LaFleur said.
