Defensive adjustments were made, but the Green Bay Packers starting cornerbacks had a rough go of it Sunday’s 33-30 win over the Carolina Panthers game, contributing to a career day for rookie quarterback Bryce Young.
The trio of Jaire Alexander, Eric Stokes and Keisean Nixon were targeted 15 times this past Sunday, with Young completing 13 of those passes. He totaled 191 yards through the air, or 14.6 yards per catch, and two touchdowns, both of which came with Stokes in coverage, according to PFF.
Between the three, there were no pass breakups recorded, and of Young’s 36 total pass attempts, only four were contested by the Green Bay defense, with the Panthers’ pass-catchers catching three of them.
