The Green Bay Packers beat the New York Jets 44-38

in overtime on Sunday J'Mon Moore Color Rush Jersey , and one of the most stunning stats from the game is the number of plays run by each team. Green Bay had a whopping 91 offensive snaps in the contest, while the Jets had just 60.Some of that was probably due to the Jets taking back a kickoff for a touchdown, but even so, the Packers’ drives seemed to be longer and more consistent, particularly from the second quarter on. In one stretch of 35 snaps from scrimmage going from the second quarter to the first drive of the third, the Packers ran 32 plays to the Jets’ three.Still, the Packers’ time of possession edge was just a five-minute advantage, holding the football for 34:19 to the Jets’ 29:18.Here’s a look at how the individual playing time broke down.OFFENSE (91 plays)QuarterbacksAaron Rodgers 91Rodgers had a top-five game in his career in terms of his passing numbers on Sunday, completing 37 passes (second-most of his career) for 442 yards (tied for second) and a pair of passing touchdowns. It was the seventh 400-yard game of Rodgers’ career, and it put him at 4,416 yards, just 227 yards short of his career-high 4,643 set in 2011.It was some clutch running by Rodgers that got the Packers back in the game late, however. He ran the ball five times for 32 yards, but took in both of the team’s fourth-quarter touchdowns on the ground and added a two-point conversion late as well.Running BacksJamaal Williams 86, Danny Vitale 8Williams looks like a different player than he was last year or even earlier this season. He is running with conviction and looks much better at finding cutback lanes than he was previously. Williams had an excellent game overall, with 15 carries for 95 yards and a score plus six receptions for 61 yards.Wide ReceiversDavante Adams 87, Marquez Valdes-Scantling 72, Jake Kumerow 57, Equanimeous St. Brown 39The Packers got significant contributions from all of their four wide receivers in this game. Adams caught 11 passes, bringing him one catch away from tying Sterling Sharpe’s Packers record for receptions in a single season. His last catch was the 16-yard touchdown in overtime that gave the Packers the victory.MVS had a couple of drops in this game, but he still caught five of nine targets for 75 yards. St. Brown was a force as a secondary option as well, with five receptions on five targets for 94 yards. Kumerow had a 49-yard touchdown to get the Packers on the board early and finished with three receptions for 68 yards.Tight EndsJimmy Graham 64 https://www.thepackersfanshop.com/Nick-Perry-Jersey , Lance Kendricks 16, Robert Tonyan 15, Marcedes Lewis 11With three catches for 34 yards, Graham crossed over the 50-catch and 600-yard marks on the season. He now has a better catch rate and yards-per-reception average than he did a year ago (plus he has more yardage) but he has just two touchdown receptions on the season compared to ten last season.Meanwhile, Kendricks caught two passes for 26 yards while Tonyan had one for 11 yards.Offensive LinemenDavid Bakhtiari 91, Corey Linsley 91, Lucas Patrick 91, Bryan Bulaga 91, Justin McCray 84, Lane Taylor 7The Packers lost left guard Lane Taylor early in the game, sending McCray into the game for the remainder of the afternoon. Rodgers took four sacks in the game, but three of them came before halftime; after the break, the line was able to keep him upright long enough to get the football out, though Rodgers did take a lot of hits throughout the game.DEFENSE (60 plays)Defensive LinemenDean Lowry 52, Tyler Lancaster 47, Montravius Adams 25, Fadol Brown 11, James Looney 1Once again, Lancaster got a heavy workload next to Lowry; the two former Northwestern Wildcats had five and four tackles respectively. Adams had a pair of stops as well.Outside LinebackersKyler Fackrell 55, Reggie Gilbert 47, Clay Matthews 27Fackrell had a one-handed sack of Sam Darnold, the only sack from the edge rushers on this contest. The decision to deactivate Kendall Donnerson remains puzzling however, as the young athletic rusher seems a perfect candidate to get some snaps in these final meaningless games. Gilbert had a single tackle while Matthews was kept off the stat sheet entirely.Inside LinebackersBlake Martinez 60 Davante Adams Jersey , Antonio Morrison 13, Oren Burks 3As usual, Martinez was in on every play, and he recorded the Packers’ other sack on Darnold on a blitz. Once again Eddie Pleasant played a lot of Nitro linebacker, with Josh Jones getting some work there as well.Martinez finished with seven tackles including that sack, while Morrison had a pair of tackles.SafetiesJosh Jones 60, Tramon Williams 60, Eddie Pleasant 30, Kentrell Brice 5Jones, not Martinez, led the team in tackles in this game, picking up 12 total tackles and adding a pass breakup. Pleasant had a pair of tackles and Williams had one plus a pass breakup of his own.It seems now that the Packers do not think very highly of Brice any longer, given his extremely brief playing time in this game. That plus his nagging ankle injury are the only reasonable explanations for him playing just five snaps.CornerbacksTony Brown 60, Bashaud Breeland 44, Josh Jackson 40, Jaire Alexander 20The Packers seem to have found a nice player in Brown, whose competitiveness and tenacity show through in his play. He recorded six tackles, including one for a loss, as well as a pass defense while not missing a snap.Alexander left the game due to injury, but he made four tackles in his early playing time. It seemed that the Packers’ plan was to roll with Alexander, Brown, and Breeland as the primary corners, but that injury forced Jackson into the game. He did not record a tackle Josh Jones Color Rush Jersey , but did break up one pass. Meanwhile, Breeland had three tackles to his name. MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Once Kirk Cousins and the Minnesota Vikings took the lead on Green Bay, they played with a fierce refusal to let it go.They held onto the ball with the same determination.Cousins bounced back from his worst game of the season with 342 passing yards and three touchdowns without a fumble or an interception, and the Vikings overcame some early gaffes to outlast the depleted Packers for a 24-17 victory on Sunday night.Completing 29 of his 38 attempts, Cousins found Dalvin Cook , Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen for scores. Diggs and Thielen had eight receptions apiece.“It just kind of shows his character, shows what kind of player he is, to be able to just not really care what people talk about him, not really care about what happened last week,” Thielen said of Cousins, adding: “The throws he was making, his full game was really impressive. That’s what you expect out of him.”Sheldon Richardson had two sacks to lead the defense’s game-long stifling of Aaron Rodgers, and the Vikings (6-4-1) pushed the Packers (4-6-1) further back in the NFC wild card race.The Vikings won a night game for the first time this season after losing to the top three teams in the NFC: to the Rams in Los Angeles, at home to the New Orleans Saints and at Chicago in a two-interception game by Cousins against the first-place Bears. The Vikings entered the weekend with the fourth-most turnovers in the NFL, and Cousins has been charged with 13 of the 16 giveaways. Coach Mike Zimmer was so impressed by the way Cousins played against the Packers that he gave him the game ball in the locker room afterward .“Last week left a bad taste in our mouths,” Cousins said, “and the chance to come back on Sunday night football against a division rival at home was a great opportunity, and I’m glad we made the most of it.”Rodgers threw a touchdown pass to Davante Adams and Aaron Jones scored on a short run for a 14-7 lead early in the second quarter, but the Packers fell to 0-6 on the road this season and 1-5-1 against the Vikings in their last seven meetings. Their final seven possessions produced only one field goal, with five punts and one turnover on downs.“We’ve all got to play better, myself included,” Rodgers said. “Started off the game nice. We had a couple good drives. We’re rolling there. We hit our unfortunate typical lull and didn’t get it going again.”With Randall Cobb out (hamstring) for a sixth game this season and rookies Equanimeous St. Brown (elbow) and Trevor Davis (hamstring) forced out in the second half, Rodgers didn’t have much to work with down the field. Left guard Lane Taylor (quadriceps) departed in the first half and left tackle David Bakhtiari (knee) was sidelined in the second half https://www.thepackersfanshop.com/David-Bakhtiari-Jersey , leaving the protection shaky at best. Rodgers finished 17 for 28 for 198 yards, without a turnover.The Packers failed to move the chains on eight of 10 third downs. Jones was stuffed on fourth-and-inches by Harrison Smith, Danielle Hunter and Eric Kendricks midway through the third quarter, giving the Vikings the ball at the Green Bay 44. That set up a 37-yard field goal by Dan Bailey for Minnesota’s first lead of the game.“We’re definitely not in the position, record-wise, we thought we would be in coming into the year or even after this game. We thought we could get the victory. But unfortunately we ran out of gas,” Packers linebacker Clay Matthews said. “We’re beat up, no doubt about that. But give them credit: They put in a full four quarters.”SLOW STARTThe Vikings outgained the Packers 280-139 in total yardage in the first half, but they had to settle for a tie at the break. About to go for it on fourth-and-inches on the opening drive following a timeout to strategize, they were penalized for 12 men on the field and had to punt.Diggs collided with Thielen when Jaire Alexander crashed their pick play on the second possession, and after Diggs tried to circle back the other way with an ill-fated salvage attempt he lost 10 yards on that reception to lead to another punt.Bailey’s wide left 48-yard try wasted another highlight-reel catch by Thielen in between Alexander and Josh Jones that went for 33 yards. Later in the second quarter, after some mismanagement of the clock, the Vikings had to hustle to set up a 51-yard kick for Bailey. That one was good, but Rashod Hill was called for a false start. The 56-yarder sliced right, the fifth straight missed field goal against the Packers after rookie Daniel Carlson went 0 for 3 in Green Bay and was cut the next day.PACKED AND HAPPY HOUSEThe announced attendance of 66,872 was the largest for the Vikings in three years at U.S. Bank Stadium. A handful of Minnesota players were introduced in the first quarter with Paul Bunyan’s Axe, the trophy the Gophers repossessed from the rival Badgers in Wisconsin on Saturday to end a 14-game losing streak. Randy Moss kept the crowd fired up in a halftime ceremony to receive his Pro Football Hall of Fame ring.INJURY REPORTPackers: In addition to the carnage on offense, SS Kentrell Brice aggravated an ankle injury in the first quarter and was knocked out of action in the third quarter with a possible concussion. CB Kevin King and CB Bashaud Breeland were already inactive with injuries.Vikings: RT Brian O’Neill left in the third quarter for evaluation for a possible concussion. … CB Xavier Rhodes limped off with an apparent injury to his right hamstring in the fourth quarter.UP NEXTPackers: Host Arizona (2-9) next Sunday afternoon.Vikings: Play at New England (8-3) next Sunday afternoon.
