The Green Bay Packers have established themselves a serious contender in the NFC, steamrolling through two of the NFC's best teams in the first five games of the season as they are off to a 2-0 start. Green Bay had 10 days off to prepare for a Cleveland Browns team that's seeking to avoid an 0-3 start to the season.
The Green Bay Packers surprisingly lost Sunday's matchup against the previously winless Cleveland Browns, but star edge rusher Micah Parsons isn't panicking.
A blocked field goal from 43 yards with 27 seconds left was the final nail in a stunning, collapse by the Packers in a 13-10 loss to the Browns.
As expected, the players who received the biggest jump in snaps following the loss of slot receiver Jayden Reed were first-round rookie Matthew Golden and Dontayvion Wicks. Third-round rookie Savion Williams is still mostly getting on the field for gadget plays or as a run blocker.
The Cleveland Browns have pulled off the upset of the season so far in the NFL, defeating the Green Bay Packers in a 13-10 game that featured a wild finish.
The return of Zach Tom lasted all of one snap for the Green Bay Packers on Sunday in Cleveland. Tom, who injured his oblique in Week 1 and missed Week 2, suffered an aggravation of the injury on the game's first snap against the Browns at Huntington Bank Stadium and exited the game.
In a close, hard-fought game, the Packers increased their lead to 10-0 on a 3-yard TD pass from Love to John Fitzpatrick. The score capped a 14-play, 71 yard drive that kept the ball away from the Browns for 7:41. It featured a 31 yard catch and run by Josh Jacobs and a 16-yard pass to receiver Dontayvion Wicks.
