The Packers (4-3) beat Minnesota 28-24, at home, in Week 7 and sit tied second in the NFC North. QB Aaron Rodgers completed 21 of 34 passes for 295 yards with two TD’s and two interceptions. RB Brandon Jackson had 13 carries for 58 yards with a TD, while WR James Jones made four catches for 107 yards. WR Greg Jennings made six catches for 74 yards with a TD and Andrew Quarless added a TD. The Packers defense pulled in three interceptions, but had only one sack on the day. The only breaks some Packers players can catch this season are to their body parts. Most of the Packers struggles have been due to injuries. Packers coach Mike McCarthy said Monday that defensive end Mike Neal and linebacker Brady Poppinga are both scheduled for season-ending surgeries, bringing the total number of Green Bay players lost to injury to nine. Despite the injuries, the Packers won ugly. They were far from perfect against the Vikings. Aaron Rodgers had two uncharacteristic interceptions deep in Vikings territory and didn't appear to be on the same page as his receivers on several throws. Aaron Rodgers leads all NFL quarterbacks with three rushing touchdowns and Clay Matthews has sacks in five career games against the AFC. Their offense is ranked 11th overall (350ypg) with an eighth ranked pass game (250ypg) and a 20th ranked running game (99ypg). They score the 13th most amount of points per-game (23.9ppg). Greg Jennings leads the Packers offense with five TD’s. On defense the Packers are ranked 18th overall (338ypg), with a 14th ranked pass rush (214ypg) and a 23rd ranked rush defense (124ypg). The Packers give up the 12th least amount of points per-game (19.4ppg).
The Jets (5-1) were on their BYE Week last week after winning in Denver 24-20, in Week 6. The Jets are tied atop the AFC East. Against the Broncos, QB Mark Sanchez completed 17 of 30 passes for 198 yards with one TD and two interceptions. Sanchez threw his first interceptions of this season. RB LaDainian Tomlinson had 16 carries for 55 yards with two TD’s, while WR Braylon Edwards added their lone TD. The Jets have won three in a row over the Packers, while LaDainian Tomlinson has the most games with two-plus touchdowns in NFL history (38). The Jets' All-Pro CB Darrelle Revis declared himself healthy Monday after using the bye-week break to rehabilitate it at the team's facility. "It felt great today," Revis said after a light practice. "Now I can settle in and just play football. I'm 100 percent." "He was moving around great today," Jets coach Rex Ryan said. "I think we're going to see Darrelle at 100 percent, so that's exciting for me." The Jet defense has been better as a whole, and their offense, even though it’s less explosive, doesn’t turn the ball over. They take care of the ball. The Jets offense is ranked 17th overall (334ypg) with a 27th ranked pass game (175ypg) and the NFL’s second best running game (159ypg). They score the fourth highest amount of points per-game (26.5ppg). Dustin Keller leads the Jets offense with five TD’s. On defense the Jets are ranked 12th overall (319ypg), with a 22nd ranked pass rush (229ypg) and a seventh ranked rush defense (90ypg). The Jets give up the fourth least amount of points per-game (16.8ppg).
