The Good, Bad And Ugly From The Packers’ Preseason Win Over Arizona
There were plenty of highs and lows when the Green Bay Packers defeated the Arizona Cardinals, 42-38, Friday.
The Green Bay Packers secured a 42-38 win over Arizona in their final preseason game, providing their new coach Matt LaFleur with a temporary edge over his younger brother Mike. Quarterback Kyle McCord delivered a standout performance, throwing four touchdowns and totaling 226 passing yards. Wide receiver Will Sheppard and rookie J. Michael Sturdivant also contributed significantly, each scoring a touchdown.
The special teams showcased improvement under new coordinator Cam Achord, as punt returns by Sheppard and Pierre Strong resulted in touchdowns. Rookie defensive end Dani Dennis-Sutton, who missed camp due to heat exhaustion, made notable tackles and a sack. However, the preseason also highlighted areas needing improvement, including a lackluster special teams performance and questions surrounding the team's quarterback situation.
