–Wide receiver Randall Cobb dropped two passes and fumbled during last week’s loss at Washington. He is looking forward to getting back on the field vs. Buffalo.
“You go right back to work,” he said. “Unfortunately, you never want to have moments like that, but it’s part of the game. Things happen. I wish that wasn’t the way I played, but that’s part of it. Back to work today and I was excited to get out there and get after it.”
The Packers are just 14th in scoring in large part because they are only 21st on third down with a conversion rate of 37.5 percent. The problem, however, starts on first down. Green Bay ranks 20th with 4.95 yards per first-down snap. Even that meager production is skewed by a 64-yardtouchdown pass to WR Geronimo Allison last week. “We’ve got to win first and second down more consistently,” Aaron Rodgers said. “It doesn’t mean running the football every first down but we have to have a good run and pass mix early in the game and keep finding a way to get the ball to our playmakers.
The Packers will be wearing a re-creation of the team’s uniform it wore from 1937 through 1948. Green Bay is 8-5 when wearing throwback jerseys.
BY THE NUMBERS: 34.3 — Rodgers’ passer rating in his last game against the Bills, played Dec. 14, 2014. That’s the lowest rating for any game in his career.
