Team can't overcome negative plays.
One of the reasons for the struggles of the Green Bay Packers offense in general, and quarterback Jordan Love in particular, is too many third and long situations. In the loss to the Raiders Monday night, the Packers had a total of twelve plays on third down. Seven of those plays required at least five yards or more to move the chains. On six of those seven plays, Green Bay failed to convert.
But a closer look reveals the key down when the Packers have the ball is first down.
