Not surprisingly, after how Sunday’s game ended, the Packers emerged as one of the lowest graded teams across the league in Week 3 of the season.
The Packers’ bid to remain unbeaten came to a crashing end in the final moments against the Browns, cappted off by a blocked field goal followed by Cleveland’s own game-winner.
Over at CBS Sports, John Breech graded every team across the league, with the Packers garnering a C- for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory over a vastly inferior roster.
“This was an all-time collapse by a Packers team that blew a 10-0 lead over the final four minutes of the game,” Breech writes for CBS. “The fourth-quarter meltdown started with a Jordan Love interception that the Browns quickly turned into a touchdown. The Packers then got the ball back only to give up a blocked field goal with under 30 seconds left to play. The fourth quarter was filled with uncharacteristic errors from a team that doesn’t usually make uncharacteristic errors. The Packers defense, which shut the Browns down for three quarters, surrendered 103 yards and 13 points in the fourth quarter. This loss is definitely going to sting for a while.”
Head coach Matt LaFleur and the Packers next big worry must become whether the Browns authored the blueprint for how to slow quarterback Jordan Love, tight end Tucker Kraft, and explosive rookie wide receiver Matthew Golden in the weeks ahead.
