In a game of inches, the Packers repeatedly came up short in the first half of the 2022 NFL season opener against Minnesota. On the first series, the Packers defense failed to slow down Justin Jefferson or Kirk Cousins. Cousins was able to find the time to pick apart the vaunted Packer defense on a drive that gave the Vikings a 7-0 lead. The first play of the game for the Packers offense needed rookie Christian Watson to bring his hands together and make a catch on a sure touchdown bomb thrown perfectly by Aaron Rodgers. Right through his hands.
