The Green Bay Packers have created 35 total explosive plays – defined here as a completed pass of at least 20 yards or a run of at least 10 yards – through four weeks of the 2022 season. The Packers rank tied for second in the NFL in explosive plays, according to tracking from Marcus Mosher.
Teams crave explosive plays on offense because they often create scoring opportunities.
“Typically, if you’re getting explosives, you have a much better chance at scoring points,” coach Matt LaFleur said before the 2020 season.
