49. . 5-8. Previous: . Green Bay Packers. 21. team

Head coach Matt LaFleur brought a 39-9 regular-season mark into 2022. This year, the Packers have nearly equaled that loss total (8) in 13 games. Joe Barry’s defense has been a big disappointment.

The Packers have come up with just 15 takeaways and 24 sacks while allowing 33 offensive touchdowns. Veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers has 22 TD passes but 13 of the team’s 17 turnovers. Rookie wideout Christian Watson has been hot after a slow start.

48. . 6-7. Previous: . Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 20. team

A year ago, the Buccaneers and Packers finished an NFL-best 13-4 during the regular season. After a 28-point thrashing at the hands of the 49ers in San Francisco on Sunday, Todd Bowles’ club dipped below the .500 mark once again.

The club trailed 28-0 at intermission and was outgained 290-111 in total yards in the first half. Tampa turned over the ball three times and their only score of the game came with 2:48 remaining in the third quarter.

19. team. 52. . 5-8. Previous: . Jacksonville Jaguars

Doug Pederson’s team looked to bounce back from a lopsided of loss at Detroit as they took on the Titans. The Jaguars found themselves down 14-7 after one quarter of play before responding with 29 consecutive points.

Trevor Lawrence finished the game with 368 yards through the air and three scores and added a rushing TD. Jacksonville sacked Ryan Tannehill four times and wound up forcing four turnovers in the surprising victory.
