So the Packers showed up wearing the wrong uniforms… though, if they want to be the Browns, they can go right ahead!
On the first passing play of the game, Mitch Trubisky chucks a ball right to Winston Guy. He’s making his first career start in place of the injured William Moore, and the game has started in the best possible way for him!
Trey Smith finds DGB in the corner of the endzone for our first TD of the day.
Trubisky fires another pick right to Rodgers-Cromartie. Nice job!
Zach Ertz gets the last laugh on DRC, though, as he scores a TD on him.
With 0:03 on the clock, the Packers run the ball from the 1 yard line, and Hightower slips through and picks up the safety as time expires. Good job, Green Bay! The Vikings lead 18-7 at the half.
Pat White finds himself wide open on a passing play, going for 38 yards.
White gets pushed into the endzone as part of a crowd of Vikings. The Packers are not keeping this one close.
Brandon Saine gets demolished and leaves the game with a concussion. Ouch!
Pat White puts a stiff arm on a safety and continues flying forwards. He’s been a guarantee for 100+ yards from scrimmage since Howard’s been out.
Terrance West tumbles forward for a 24 yard score, bringing the final score to 39-13.

Game Summary
The offense was a bit stagnant in the first half, as we moved the ball rather well, but I had major struggles in the redzone. With no Olsen and no Howard at my disposal, I changed the gameplan to focus throwing to my top 3 WRs, and it worked to perfection.
The Wallace/Diggs/DGB combo proved to be too much to cover all at once for Green Bay. I had troubles running the ball, but I was able to pass to Pat White for some big yardage.
On defense, Trubisky got pressured into making bad decisions. Sharrif Floyd made 3 hits on him but couldn’t come up with a sack, but his mate at DT, Timmy Jernigan, scored 2 sacks on him. Mitch only had success throwing to Jacoby Ford, who has a ridiculous 98/99 speed/accel, so I put Rodgers-Cromartie on him to limit the damage.
At this point, I’m prepping my Vikings and Eagles squads with strategies to beat each other when the match comes in a few weeks. The CPU opponents just aren’t cutting it, and raising the sliders any further will start adding BS (defenders making unrealistic interceptions, receivers catching passes they have no business hauling in).
Eagles Update: Eagles 34, Steelers 24
An old Ben Roethlisberger put up a fight and threw for 394 yards against the Eagles’ defense, but too many turnovers from Pittsburgh’s offense led to their inevitable defeat.
