The Green Bay Packers haven't been able to move the ball through the air much in the first half of the Week 10 game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
After two quarters of play on Monday night, quarterback Jordan Love and the Packers' offense has mustered up just 20 net passing yards.
No, that's not a typo. There are a few reasons why Green Bay's passing attack is off to such a terrible start.
Love officially has 39 passing yards, but he lost a whopping 19 yards after taking three sacks, so that's where the 20 net passing yards comes from.
The Packers were very run-heavy in the first half, with 15 of their 28 plays staying on the ground. It's very clear head coach Matt LaFleur planned on running the football a ton in this game.
Despite that approach, running back Josh Jacobs isn't having much success, as he's averaging less than four yards per carry.
Another reason for Green Bay's pass struggles is the Eagles have a good defense with two very good cornerbacks in Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean.
Luckily for the Packers, the Eagles have been struggling on offense, also, and the game is knotted at zero going into halftime.
We'll see if the Packers can get something going in the second half, but we're not holding our breath after what we saw over the first two quarters of play.
