Four-Point Stance
One: Midway through his fourth season, Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert has thrown for 16,438 yards. That’s already an NFL record for most yards through four full seasons; last week, he surpassed Hall of Famer Peyton Manning (16,418) for No. 1 on the list. He threw for 323 yards and four touchdowns in last week’s loss to the Lions.
Two: Chargers receiver Keenan Allen leads the NFL with 73 receptions. Allen is, far and away, Herbert’s No. 1 target. The next three players on the team list have combined for 66. In four road games this season, he has 458 yards. That’s more than any Packers player in nine games this season. In his only game at Lambeau Field, a 27-20 loss in 2015, he caught 14 passes for 157 yards. That’s one of his league-record 10 games of 12-plus receptions for 100-plus yards.
Three: The Chargers’ defensive numbers are terrible but they’ve got plenty of high-profile talent. Since entering the NFL in 2014, Khalil Mack ranks fourth with 93.5 sacks and second with 22 forced fumbles. He had a six-sack game against the Raiders on Oct. 1 and is second in the league this year with three strip-sacks. Since entering the NFL in 2021, Mack’s edge-rushing sidekick, Joe Bosa, leads the NFL with nine forced fumbles.
Four: The Chargers have one of the worst pass defenses in the NFL, so there is an opportunity to keep building for Green Bay. Over its last four games, it has 22 passing plays of 16-plus yards (the general definition of an “explosive” passing play), tied for sixth in the league, after having 19 the first five games. For the season, the Chargers have allowed 56 “explosive” passes, just two behind Pittsburgh and Washington for worst in the league.
