The Green Bay Packers offence appears to be focusing more heavily on the passing game in their playoff-like game against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday night, especially with Jayden Reed having the potential to have a big day.

Christian Watson is already doubtful and will probably miss the Packers’ next game. Dontayvion Wicks is also questionable after missing practice on Wednesday and Thursday and being “very limited,” as Matt LaFleur described his performance on Friday. It seems like Wicks is a real game-time choice.
Given the condition of the receiver room right now, Reed may have to carry the playmaking load in the passing game if Wicks is unable to play. From a matchup standpoint, though, he ought to have the same potential.

LaFleur described Reed as “just a hell of a competitor.” “Obviously, he’s helped us in the pass game, but he’s also been helpful in getting the ball into his hands on reverses, arounds, and other screen situations. I adore his competitive nature when it comes to both pass and run games. He has performed when given the chance.
Considering their recent opponents, the Packers are somewhat used to seeing the blitz-heavy Vikings defence. Four of Green Bay’s opponents in the last six games are in the top eight in the league in terms of blitz rate this year. Love has really been the most blitzed quarterback in NFL since Week 11.

Before the Vikings’ Week 8 game, LaFleur remarked of their defence, “They’re not afraid.” It can appear like a punt rush at times, so you need to prepare for that and carry out your plan, but there are many obstacles to overcome. Those guys are physically strong and quick.
Jordan Love and the Green Bay offensive line have performed admirably over this run of games; over the last six games, Love has completed 67 percent of his pass attempts from a clean pocket, which is the 12th-best percentage in football. Love has completed 67.3 percent of his passes at 7.6 yards per attempt overall against the blitz, with four touchdowns to one interception.
