Green Bay Packers: 5 goals vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
4. Josh Jackson takes another step forward
Josh Jackson was, perhaps, the most impressive player in the Packers’ secondary in Week 1. While guys like Quinten Rollins struggled mightily, Jackson more then held his own and showed why he was so highly regarding coming out of Iowa.
Jackson will look to capitalize on that performance and put on another strong showing against the Steelers. Even though Pittsburgh top receivers like Antonio Brown won’t play, the Steelers are still deeper and more talented at receiver than the Titans were. This will present a more difficult challenge for Jackson.
The increase in difficulty will be a great test for the rookie second-round pick. Part of being a rookie is showing you can “stack success” like McCarthy loves to say. If he can have a second straight strong performance, the Packers’ coaching staff will feel a lot better about this secondary as a whole.
