Part 3/8:
A critical issue that has plagued the Packers throughout the season is their inability to start games strong. In their matchup against the Vikings—similar to past performances—the Packers saw their offense struggle out of the gate, leading to a mere three points in the first half. This continued a worrisome trend where they either failed to score or found ways to shoot themselves in the foot early in games. It presents a paradox: while they have recorded explosive second-half performances, they often dig themselves into insurmountable holes by the time halftime arrives.
