AMARI RODGERS

The Green Bay Packers did all they could defensively to help out Jordan Love in his first career start.

Patrick Mahomes threw for 166 yards and a touchdown as Kansas City held off Jordan Love and the Packers 13-7 on Sunday.

This post will run through team stats, including key additions and departures for the Packers ahead of their first meeting with the Lions. The 35-point loss represented the most lopsided loss for the Packers with Rodgers starting under center. “We try not to look too deep into it, but (the Saints) do a lot of similar things we do, so it’s great film for us to watch,” Lions cornerback Amani Oruwariye said. The departures of Linsley, Taylor and Wagner opened the door for the Packers to remodel their offensive line a bit. See below for the five most recent results between the NFC North rivals:2020 -- Packers 31, Lions 242020 -- Packers 42, Lions 212019 -- Packers 23, Lions 202019 -- Packers 23, Lions 222018 -- Lions 31, Packers 0

The Packers traded up seven spots to get QB Aaron Rodgers some help at WR, taking Clemson's Amari Rodgers with the 85th overall pick in the NFL draft.

Luckily for the Lions, this class is loaded with three legit options at Pick 7, not to mention impressive Day 2 and 3 talent. When it comes to receivers at Pick 7, though, it’s all about Ja’Marr Chase, DeVonta Smith and Jaylen Waddle. That thinking combines the thought process that Chase, Smith and Waddle are special prospects while looking at the unproven receiver rotation. NFL Network draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah called him the “home run” pick for the Lions at No. Purdue’s Rondale Moore and Florida’s Kadarius Toney, among others, find themselves waiting in the dust left by Chase, Smith and Waddle as well.
