Packers get trounced 48-17 in the Jungle Monday night
The Packers had to know it wasn’t going to be a good night early on. Brett Favre fumbled a ball in the first quarter that safety Dexter Jackson picked up and returned it 29 yards for a TD. Favre was a little off the whole game, completing 48.0% of his passes for 162 yards. He threw one TD and one interception. Aaron Rodgers finished up and completed 2 of 6 passes for 7 yards.
It was a good sight to see all of the Packers running backs healthy and playing in the same game. Ahman Green had 8 carries for 18 yards (2.3 ypc). Najeh Davenport carried the ball 4 times for 21 yards (5.3 ypc). Samkon Gado had 10 carries for 23 yards (2.3 ypc) and caught 2 passes for 19 yards. Noah Herron had 8 carries for 27 yards (3.4 ypc).
WR Donald Driver looked good, catching 4 passes for 72 yards and a TD. Rookie wide-out Greg Jennings caught 3 passes for 40 yards.
The defense was awful. The Bengals ran the ball 34 times for 146 yards (4.3 ypc). Carson Palmer was shredding the Packers defense like swiss cheese. The Bengals completed 58.6% of their passes for a net of 233 yards passing…..and 5 TD passes!
Repeat after me…..it’s only pre-season.
