The Oakland Raiders face a Green Bay Packers team trending upward on the offensive side of ball for more reasons than Aaron Rodgers’ efficient touchdown-to-interception ratio.
In Week 14, Packers head coach Mike McCarthy reassumed play-calling duties to boost the offensive firepower, per ESPN.com’s Ron Demovsky:
With McCarthy in control from 2006 to 2014, the Packers ranked in the top 10 in total offense and passing offense all but one season (2012, when they were 13th overall but still ninth in passing yards). Even in 2013, when quarterback Aaron Rodgers missed nearly half the season because of a broken collarbone, the Packers were third in total offense and sixth in passing.
