After the Green Bay Packers receiver was called in by Aaron Rogers ’47-yard ball, the Green Bay Packers receiver was led by the game just moments after the Indianapolis Colts’ game-winning field goal in the second game of the overtime. Target the field in the last seconds of regulation.
In short it’s Valdes-Scantling: an electrifying catch is the bottom and end of a game in this field and the subsequent madness.
“I know he’s really hurting right now,” Packers coach Matt Lafler said after Sunday’s 34-31 loss. “He did a lot of plays for us and not only in the pass game but also in the run game, you guys probably didn’t even notice that we weren’t getting yards if he didn’t close his ass.
“So I can stay with MVS. I’ve got more confidence in it now than ever before. I think it continues to get better every day. Every time we go there, it delivers great plays.”
Although Weldes-Scantling had just three catches for 55 yards, Laughler pointed to a pass interception penalty that set up a touchdown to give the Packers a 28-14 halftime lead. It was a 51-yard penalty on the Colts Cornwall Rock Ya-sin.
“I can stay with MVS, and we continue to stay with him and just hope he can continue to get better and better and better,” Laffler said. “And in him I have found all the faith of the world.”
Rogers allegedly did something similar.
“I love Marquez so much,” said Rogers, who threw Valdes-Scantling’s swing pass into the left flat at the second play of Odtime, only to be bowled by Julian Blackmon and recovered by Deforest Buckner. “I see a person every day, see how much he cares for them. Unfortunately it happens. It’s a lot of fund fundamentals, carries the ball, but it’s part of my rumble. It was a bad time, obviously …. But that thing happens. He made a big play at the end of the regulation to move us to third and 10th. Disappointed for him, disappointed for us. “
Valdes-Scantling, who was not made available for postgame interviews, Said in a tweet That he received death threats after the game but he noticed that his team had his back.
It was Valdes-Scantling’s first career in sports: but he suffers from drops and missed opportunities. According to ESPN statistics and data, it ranked 152nd out of 153 eligible recipients in the catch percentage (50%). He was below 50% until he caught four of his six goals against the Jaguars last week and was the second most deserving receiver in drops (five).
The Packers hoped he would be more consistent after his previous two games – four catches for 133 yards against the Jaguars and two touchdowns in the previous game against the 49ers. Instead, it was another overtime game in which Rogers rarely got a chance to do some of the magic he did at the end of the regulation, although there were questions about the last field goal drive and why he hit the ball twice instead of taking another shot. Or two in the final zone.
“It’s something we’ll go back and see and see how we can do things better,” Laughler said of the two spikes. “You know, Hindsite is 20/20, and we kicked the field goal in the fourth, when there wasn’t much time left to give them a chance to go back and score. Sure, I’m sure sometimes we can do better. , But I’m also proud of our efforts to get out of the 6-yard line and down the field in front of a really good defense. I felt Aaron, I think he was fighting. Playing his stupid, doing a lot of plays for us. It always hurts when that doesn’t happen. “
There were also questions about the fourth-and-1 decision – and the platoon – 31-28 from the Colts’ 34-yard line in the game, 3:11 left. Rogers threw an incomplete pass with the intention of running behind Jamal Williams.
“The play was for Davante [Adams], And they doubled it, “Roger said.” We really beat the back side. This is what kept me from increasing the type of play. I threw it away a little for him, but again, the play was Davante’s. I liked Matt’s attack. “
Rogers went down 2-8-1 in overtime games, including the playoffs. He has attempted 17 passes in overtime of those games and lost four times without touching the ball and three times on turnover. Two of the three turnovers were from jobs.
