Melvin Gordon scored two touchdowns and the Los Angeles defense held Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers to one of his worst outings as the Chargers dominated the Packers 26-11 on Sunday.
How players respond after the 26-11 loss will be a telling sign for Green Bay.
After anemic showing against Chargers, Packers’ and Matt LaFleur’s mission? ‘Re-evaluate everything’
Coach Matt LaFleur says he didn't do a "good enough job of preparing our players for what type of team they were about to play."
"What we're going to do is, Kyle Allen will start this week. Cam will continue his rehab program," coach Ron Rivera said. "I've got nothing further to add, guys. I can't tell you anything other than what I've already told you."
Green Bay is regrouping for Sunday's game against Carolina at Lambeau Field.
San Francisco received seven first-place votes and 379 points to edge out the New Orleans Saints, who had the other five first-place votes and 374 points in balloting Tuesday by media members who regularly cover the NFL.
“We’ve certainly got a lot to correct," coach Matt LaFleur said. "We have a really good opponent coming in here."
Panthers QB Kyle Allen grew up rooting for the Packers and now gets to start against them at Lambeau
Kyle Allen grew up rooting for the Packers because his dad's side of the family is from Milwaukee, so it's hard to imagine a much bigger game after learning he will be Carolina's starter the rest of this season.
