We’ve seen bad offensive performances from the Green Bay Packers before. We’ve seen plenty of them this season. But perhaps no quarter of football was as brutal for the Packers offense as the third quarter of Thursday night’s 27-24 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
In that period, the Packers received the opening kickoff. They somehow possessed the football for 7:55 in that quarter, but picked up just two first downs, going one-for-four on third down opportunities, and got Aaron Rodgers sacked three times. That one third-down conversion came on a quick snap, with Rodgers catching Seattle with too many men on the field and finding Davante Adams for a first down.
