What to know

  • The Packers committed 26 penalties for 231 yards in their first two games, the highest penalty total for any NFL team so far this season and the second-worst two-game stretch in franchise history since 1950.
  • Pre-snap alignment penalties—false starts, jumping offside, lining up offside—are the main culprit; three such penalties directly cost Green Bay the Vikings game by negating an interception and extending Minnesota's game-winning drive.
  • Despite the penalty problem, Green Bay's defense ranks second in the NFL in yards allowed per play (3.9) and the team showed come-from-behind capability by beating the Jets in overtime, but the team cannot sustain double-digit penalty games and hope to earn a fourth straight playoff berth.

    Analysis shows 26 penalties in two games is second-worst in franchise history

    Green Bay's combined 26 penalties for 231 yards across Weeks 1-2 mark the second-highest penalty total for any two-game stretch in Packers history since at least 1950, exceeded only by 29 penalties in November 1987 and matched by 26 in October-November 2007. The 26 penalties represent the worst two-game total for any NFL team this season.

    “The ones that are just mind-blowing are just the false starts, jumping offside, lining up offside. Those are the ones that'll get you beat.”
