The Packers won seven of nine games when Rodgers threw fewer than two touchdowns. The Packers, however, went 13-3 (sic), leaning on a defense and run game and for the first time less reliant on Rodgers to win them games. Statistically, Rodgers wasn’t up to his usual standard and even ranked below-average by some advanced metrics. Rodgers’ and the Packers’ 2019 season followed a different script than usual. However, there were surely some throws he would like back, where he missed receivers on routine plays and struggled under the pressure of the 49ers’ pass rush. Rodgers was good, but not great on Sunday, finishing with 326 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 2 interceptions on 31-of-39 passing. In their NFC Championship loss and across the season overall, Rodgers was solid, but not his usual spectacular self. “It definitely hurts a little more than early in the career.” “It’s a little raw right now, for sure,” Rodger said. It just kind of felt like it was meant to be.”īut as a seasoned veteran, he recognizes how “difficult” it is for a team to get this deep into the playoffs-but it also makes the losses that much more painful. “We weren’t picked by most people to win our division, and we found a way to not only do that but to win a home playoff game and get to this spot. “With all of the changes this offseason, and with the installation of a new system and a new program, to get to this point, you felt like it was something special because it just didn’t really make sense,” Rodgers said. Given the unexpected burst of success under first-year head coach Matt LeFleur, Rodgers realized this season had some magic. With Rodgers’s career winding down, there goes another year that he won’t make it to the Super Bowl. This weekend’s NFL conference championship games were a case of “good news/bad news”, so let’s get the bad news out of the way first.Īaron Rodgers, James Looney, and the Green Bay Packers lost. It feels like life is more often than not a case of “I’ve got some bad news and then I’ve got some more bad news”, but if I’m in a “good news/bad news situation”, then I like to end on the positive note. You can tell that Jones is hungry for that next contract when he puts a game like this on display.JAYLEN BROWN ON LEBRON /yHkLXloIro- Bleacher Report January 21, 2020 Really it just goes to show you that he can win those 1-on-1 matchups. He was destroying the two backup offensive guards for the Raiders all game long. You didn’t need PFF analytics to tell you that Chris Jones had a dominant game. Adding in a batted pass, that means he produced either a pressure or batted pass once every 4.2 pass-rushing snaps.”
“A dominant performance up front by Jones saw him register a sack, four hits and three hurries from 38 pass-rushing snaps.
If I were calling the plays, I’d always make sure that I’m running behind Schwartz, even if it means running counter and pulling him to the opposite side of the line. The Chiefs didn’t get much done on the ground against the Raiders, but there will come a time where they need to rely on the ground game in order to win. He wasn’t just impressive in pass protection though and delivered an 87.9 PFF run-blocking grade to back up an excellent all-around performance.” “Schwartz produced a 100.0 pass-blocking efficiency rating, with zero sacks, hits or hurries allowed from 53 pass-blocking snaps in their win on Sunday afternoon. Here’s a look at what PFF had to say about each player with my reactions below: RT Mitchell Schwartz – 88.7 grade Both players earned Team of the Week recognition, placing them among the best players in the NFL this week. PFF had Chris Jones as the top-graded Chiefs player following the game against the Raiders, but Mitchell Schwartz wasn’t too far behind him. This time two new Kansas City Chiefs have made PFF’s list for NFL Week 2. After a dominant performance in Week 1, Sammy Watkins made the first PFF Team of the Week of the season.
