Packers’ shutout of Saints has NFL social media buzzing

game

All that Green Bay Packers fans needed for Christmas was another playoff spot.

No more was asked.

But the Packers’ defense gave them all nothing anyway…nothing like allowing zero points..

First NFL shutout of the season.

There was no need for anything other than that.

An outstanding performance by the defense.

Packers 34, New Orleans Saints 0.

Of course it is true that Saints didn’t exactly come marching into Lambeau Field at full strength. A lopsided loss was certainly anticipated with New Orleans missing offensive regulars Derek Carr, Alvin Kamara and Chris Olave.

But the Packers turned this into a kickoff vs. practice squad before the first quarter was over. Rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler never had a chance. The offense scored on five of Jordan Love’s seven drives and the Green Bay defense blanked an opponent for the first time since 2021.

It was quite a trajectory for the Packers’ playoff chances. Here are some reactions to the shutout.
