Aaron Rodgers Felt 'Good' About Packers' 4 Straight Goal-Line Passes vs. Eagles

The Green Bay Packers' final two drives of their 34-27 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday ended in zero points despite trips deep into the red zone.

The first one was the most notable, as the Pack couldn't score despite facing a 1st-and-goal from the Eagles' 1-yard line. Four incomplete passes led to a turnover on downs, and after the game, Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said he felt "good about all four calls."

The Packers forced a punt on the Eagles' next possession and engineered another drive deep into Eagles' territory, but a Rodgers pass was deflected and intercepted on 2nd-and-goal from the Philadelphia 3-yard line.

Packers head coach and offensive play-caller Matt LaFleur also offered his take when asked why the Packers passed four straight times.

After the game, football analysts criticized LaFleur's decisions on the aforementioned drive that ended at the 1-yard line, including Evan Silva of Establish the Run, Warren Sharp of Sharp Football Analysis and Bucky Brooks of NFL Network:

The Packers also seemed committed to establishing the run with running back Aaron Jones, but he finished with just 21 yards on 13 carries.

As Matt Schneidman of The Athletic wrote, Rodgers led the Packers in rushing with 46 yards, while the rest of the team only amassed 31.

The Packers particularly struggled with their first-down runs, which could explain why Green Bay has had trouble scoring in the second half of games this season, per Sharp:

Green Bay has struggled offensively this season and entered Thursday as the league's No. 23 scoring unit. However, the Packers have enjoyed a solid 3-1 start largely buoyed by a defense that allowed only 35 points through its first three games.

The Packers' next game is on the road against the Dallas Cowboys on October 6.
