In a cold, rainy day at Lambeau Field the Green Bay Packers repeatedly shot themselves in the foot with a barrage of penalties and an ill-timed interception from Jordan Love that resulted in a pick-6.
As such, the standout performances this week were few and far between which means the cheeseboard is looking a bit…light.

Week 9 Cheeses
🧀 Josh Jacobs 🧀
In the first half against the Lions, Josh Jacobs was absolutely having his way with the Detroit defense. Headed into halftime, Jacobs had 89 of his 95 rushing yards highlighted by a 37-yard scamper. If it wasn’t for an 24-3 deficit before the Packers touched the ball in third quarter, he was going to be in line for a huge day. Alas, he was the highlight on offense so earns himself a cheese.
🧀 Jayden Reed 🧀
The most consistent player in the Packers receiving room came through yet again for the Packers in a big way when they were pressing for offense. Of his 113 yards on Sunday, 101 of those came on three catches including catches of 41, 32 and 28. Reed is averaging a very nice 69 yards a game through the air and is the spark they need week in and week out. He just might end up with the most scrimmage yards on the team once it’s all said and done.
