NFL Victory Of The Week: Packers Blank Jets 9-0
Prilosec presents the NFL Victory of the Week. In Week 8, the Green Bay Packers visited the New York Jets, and won an old-fashioned defensive struggle, 9-0.
Each week on SBNation.com we’ll have the NFL Victory of the Week, presented by Prilosec. The winning team is decided by conducting a poll on Tuesdays across all of the SB Nation NFL blogs throughout the 2010 season, with you -- the readers -- voting for the biggest win of each week.
This week's winner is the Green Bay Packers.
The Green Bay Packers beat the Farve-led Vikings two weeks ago, but couldn't rest on their laurels as they headed to New York New Jersey to battle the Jets who were riding a five-game win streak. The Jets had been scoring points in bunches, and the Packers are known for a potent offense led by Aaron Rodgers, but this game was the ultimate defensive struggle. The Pack defense was just a little better than the Jets, allowing Green Bay to pull out a 9-0 win and go to 5-3 on the season.
Here’s what SB Nation’s Packers blog, Acme Packing Company, had to say:
There were a couple key offensive and special teams plays that led to points for the Green Bay Packers. Such as the thwarted fake punt attempt in the 1st quarter, and the 30 yard pass to WR Greg Jennings on the next play. Their was also the 14 yard pass to WR Jordy Nelson in the 4th quarter that set up the second field goal. But this was a defensive game, and the biggest plays were the ones that ended any chances the Jets had to score. The Packers won the battle for field position, and it forced the struggling Jets offense to consistently move down the entire length of the field. Something they obviously could not do.
