The Green Bay Packers had everything going for them to start the season.

They were about to face the Cleveland Browns, a winless team that had some major questions at quarterback and had lost eight games in a row.

That’s why the Packers’ loss was so disappointing.

Nevertheless, it may have been a blessing in disguise, at least according to analyst Daire Carragher.

“The Packers will be fine. Losing a non-conference road game in Week 3 after starting 2-0 is not going to kill them. This is the reality check they needed after 14 days in paradise,” Carragher wrote on X.

Of course, the expectation is to win every game, but he has a point.

Expecting an undefeated season is not realistic, not even for a team as talented as the Packers.

Also, it’s not like they were blown out.

Chances are, they would’ve won that game 99 out of 100 times they played it.

They had shut out the Browns until the fourth quarter, and they won’t give up three scores in less than four minutes very often, or have a field goal blocked that leads to a game-winning kick by their opponent.

That’s not to say that they shouldn’t dig deep into the tape to see what worked and what didn’t.

But at the end of the day, they’re as much of a Super Bowl contender as they were beforehand.
