Efficiency: Third Down, Red Zone and Pressure
| Metric | Green Bay | Denver |
|---|---|---|
| Third down conversions | 6-13 | 4-11 |
| Fourth down conversions | 1-3 | 2-4 |
| Red zone touchdowns | 1-4 | 4-4 |
| Sacks taken | 3 | 0 |

Green Bay moved the ball and won the third-down rate, but turned only one of four red zone trips into a touchdown while settling for three McManus field goals. Denver scored a touchdown every time it reached the 20.
The Bottom Line
The yardage was close. The finishing was not. Denver scored a touchdown on all four of its red zone trips while Green Bay managed one in four and kicked three field goals. Nix posted a 134.7 rating with four touchdowns and no picks, and Surtain’s interception erased a Packers drive that could have stretched a nine-point lead into two scores.
The win was Denver’s 11th in a row and moved Sean Payton’s team to 12-2. For Green Bay, the cost ran past the 34-26 result. Micah Parsons went down with a non-contact knee injury while chasing Nix in the third quarter, and an MRI confirmed a torn ACL that ended his first season with the Packers at 12.5 sacks. Christian Watson left on the Surtain interception with a chest injury and was taken to a Denver hospital before flying home with the team. The loss dropped Green Bay to 9-4-1 and a half-game behind Chicago in the NFC North.
