Packers vs. Broncos recap: Trey Smack continues hot start

Green Bay Packers kicker Trey Smack continues his impressive start in the preseason as the team defeated the Denver Broncos 33-13 at Empower Field at Mile High. Coming off a five-game losing streak, the Packers ended their five-game losing streak by beating the Broncos. The depth of the team played well, with the defense and offense holding strong despite the Broncos keeping their first and second-team units on the field longer than the Packers.

Rookie kicker Trey Smack was a standout performer, going four of four on field goals, including a 59-yarder, which is one yard longer than his longest previous week. His performance was a great start for the rookie, and the team hopes it will continue throughout the regular season. The Packers' special teams also had standout performances, with fourth-string running back Pierre Strong Jr. returning a kickoff 68 yards and receiver Skyy Moore returning a punt 16 yards.

Offense-wise, the team's two quarterbacks, Kyle McCord and Tyrod Taylor, were compared, with McCord completing 24 of 35 passes for 220 yards, and orchestrating three successful two-minute drills. Meanwhile, Taylor completed 16 of 35 passes for 38 yards. The game flow saw the starting offense play one drive for a touchdown, the second-team offense play three drives before McCord got the chance for two two-minute drills, and the starting defense allowed a touchdown and a field goal.

The second-team defense held strong, allowing just 32 yards over three drives. The injury report listed several players as scratches, but the team expects most of them to be at practice in Green Bay next week.
