Green Bay Packers at Saints: 5 Big Questions Heading into Week 3
By Paul Bretl
Before the Green Bay Packers take on the New Orleans Saints, here are five big questions heading into the primetime matchup.
We’ve dissected the Green Bay Packers’ Week 2 win over the Detroit Lions, and now it is time to turn our focus to Week 3, for a primetime matchup with the New Orleans Saints.
Through two weeks, the Packer offense has been the best in football, totaling 85 points and over 1,000 yards of total offense. Meanwhile, the defense has had its ups and downs, but as they usually do, they come up with a stop or turnover when needed.
The Saints are coming off a tough loss to Las Vegas on Monday night, where they clearly missed Michael Thomas, and it looked like Father Time had caught up to future Hall of Fame Quarterback, Drew Brees. However, as LB Christian Kirksey told reporters on Wednesday, “Drew is still Drew,” and New Orleans will easily be Green Bay’s toughest matchup up to this point in the season.
As I always do, I have my five big questions about the upcoming game, focusing on certain players or key matchups, and whatever the answers to these questions end up being, they’ll go a long way in determining Sunday’s winner.
