The Green Bay Packers are coming off their first loss of the season. Green Bay held a 10-0 lead late in the fourth quarter, however, costly mistakes and turnovers led to a 13-10 loss to the Cleveland Browns. The offense had a disappointing outing against one of the best defenses in the league.
Following the loss, Green Bay decided to move on from one of their wide receivers.
