The Green Bay Packers opened the 2015 preseason schedule with a 22-11 win over the New England Patriots. After several viewings of the contest, here’s five players trending up and five others trending down as Green Bay prepares for the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 2 of the preseason:
UP
DL Mike Pennel: The 332-pounder still provides very little as a pass-rusher, but he gave the Patriots all kinds of trouble in the run game. On one play, Pennel drove the center back three or four yards and cut down the running back. On another, he split a double team to make a stop near the line of scrimmage.
