It happened again.
For the second straight year, the Packers laid an egg in the season opener. But the 23-7 loss to the Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium felt like a frying pan to the face.
“Encouraging and frustrating at the same I guess because we have the opportunity to be really good, but not if we let certain things happen,” said center Josh Myers.
That’s exactly right. The Packers had plenty of opportunities, which was highlighted on the very first offensive play of the 2022 season. Rookie Christian Watson left cornerback Patrick Peterson and safety Harrison Smith in his wake en route to dropping a surefire touchdown on the Minnesota 32.
