Green Bay Packers

GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers will be going for a desperately needed bounce-back performance when they host the New York Jets on Sunday.

Both teams are 3-2, with the Packers laying an egg in London against the Giants and the Jets soaring into town after clobbering the Dolphins.

“Just to see how much they’ve improved, the talent – they’ve got a lot of young talent on that football team and I think they’re doing a really good job with those guys,” Packers coach Matt LaFleur said on Monday. “We know it’s going to be a physical game. This is a team that has handed adversity really well in terms of their ability to grind out some tough wins. I think that was evident in that Cleveland game; that was a great display of resiliency. But we’re going to have our hands full. Our guys have got to get not only their bodies back but their minds right to play.”

Here is this week’s viewing information, plus a handful of notes to help get you ready for Sunday.

Packers-Jets: Five Things You Didn’t Know

1. Pick Parades

Incredibly, the Jets have intercepted as many passes as the Packers have broken up. The Jets have intercepted seven passes, one off the NFL lead. The Packers have intercepted one pass, one off the Giants’ inept league low. It’s not just interceptions. The Packers have only broken up seven passes – seven less than any other team and two fewer than two individuals. Rasul Douglas has a team-high two; Eric Stokes (pictured) has zero.

2. 2/0 for 12

In defeat, Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw two touchdowns and zero interceptions against the Giants. That was the 100th game of his career with two-plus touchdown passes and zero interceptions. The Packers are 86-14 in those games.

3. Crushing the AFC

Including the Week 4 victory over New England, Aaron Rodgers is 18-1 in his last 19 home starts against the AFC. He completed 65.2 percent of his passes, averaged 280.4 yards, and threw 50 touchdowns vs. six interceptions in those games. Of course, that game against New England came with one black mark.

4. Rookie Receivers

The Jets’ Garrett Wilson, the 10th pick of the draft, ranks second in this year’s draft class with 23 receptions for 282 yards. The Packers’ Romeo Doubs, the 132nd selection in this year’s draft, is tied for third with 22 receptions. According to Pro Football Focus, Doubs is first with 130 yards after the catch; Wilson is first with eight missed tackles.

5. Breaking the Law

During last year’s Packers-Jets joint practices, New York’s big free-agent addition, defensive end Carl Lawson, suffered a torn Achilles. Lawson is back. He has 2.5 sacks and ranks second in the NFL with 14 quarterback hits. “I still think he’s got more to go, too,” Jets coach Robert Saleh said. “He’s slowly stacking up good days and he’s getting faster. I’m really pumped for him. He’s gaining confidence. He’s getting stronger and stronger every week.”
