Report indicates troubling news for green bay packers ahead of crucial Rival matchup…

The Green Bay Packers are facing a crucial portion of their schedule as they attempt to get to stretch their winning streak to three games when they host the Houston Texans in Week 7. The Packers are playing in the NFL’s toughest division, the NFC North, and they are trying to chase down the Minnesota Vikings (5-0) and the Detroit Lionss (4-1).

The Packers have played quite well this season and bring a 4-2 record into their home game against the Texans. They have been quite balanced on both sides of the line of scrimmage, as the Packers have the 4th-ranked offense in total yards and the 9th-ranked scoring defense in the league.

They will need to be at or near their best against the Texans (5-1), who have a two-game lead over the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC South. There is no reason to believe the Packers won’t be at that level, since they have played well in every game. They nearly beat the Philadelphia Eagles in the season opener, and came from a 28-0 deficit to close to within the final score of 31-29 against the Vikings in Week 4.

Quarterback Jordan Love was still feeling the impact of a sprained MCL suffered against the Eagles in the early part of the game against Minnesota. However, he seemed to regain his mobility and agility in the second half and the Packers nearly came all the way back.

Love has completed 86 of 146 passes for 1,131 yards with 12 touchdowns and 6 interceptions. He has an average of 7.7 yards per pass attempt.

Love is not the kind of quarterback who is going to be attempting a lot of short passes so he can pad his completion percentage. He is often looking to go downfield, and he has a strong crew of receivers that can deliver big plays on a regular basis

Reed may be the most dangerous threat among the Green Bay WR crew. He has explosive speed — as does fellow wideout Christian Watson. — and he is also an outstanding route runner who can make the difficult catch in traffic and also keep his feet after absorbing contact.
