What happened

A 39-22 win where C.Wentz threw touchdowns to J.Jefferson and T.Hockenson and the fourth quarter turned into a pass rush clinic — A.Van Ginkel and B.Cashman splitting a strip-sack of J.Love inside the 15 — should feel better than it does. Maybe it's the 81-yard C.Watson touchdown that got behind everyone, or the I.Rodgers injury on that same play. Week 1 banked, but the nervous system hasn't caught up yet.

What fans said

  • “That fourth quarter where Love had no time and we were just knocking him down every play was like heroin.”
