When Davon House replaced Kevin King on Sunday, Packers fans collectively groaned. Those pained noises turned to agonizing screams when House gave up a 75-yard touchdown to Stefon Diggs, no thanks to safety non-help from Kentrell Brice. Mike McCarthy pointed specifically to the King injury as a turning point in the game, claiming the team didn’t respond well to the injury.
The easy rebuttal is neither did Mike Pettine by putting House on the boundary instead of rookie Josh Jackson. Shortly after the torching, Jackson returned to the field and House was nowhere to be seen.
