Packers tumble to No. 22 in USA Today's Week 2 NFL power rankings
The Packers tumbled down the power rankings following Sunday's meltdown in Minnesota.
The Green Bay Packers suffered a significant drop in the Week 2 NFL power rankings, falling to No. 22 overall, as reported by USA Today. This drop came after a disappointing loss to the Minnesota Vikings, where the Packers led 22-10 late in the third quarter before giving up 29 consecutive points and ultimately losing by 17 points at U.S. Bank Stadium.
Matt LaFleur's team started the new year with a 0-1 record. Despite being ranked as low as No. 16 by USA Today's Nate Davis, the Packers' performance did little to alleviate concerns about their team's ability to win. The absence of key players Micah Parsons and Josh Jacobs, who are both out with injury and under investigation, respectively, was a major factor in their second-half meltdown.
The Minnesota Vikings, who showed resilience with a comeback win, climbed just two spots to No. 16, while the Chicago Bears, who scored 59 points in Week 1, now hold the No. 4 spot overall. The Packers' next challenge will be facing the New York Jets in Week 2, where they will look to break their six-game losing streak.
