However you want to judge the Packers' 2016 season, whether it be by a late-season rally for the ages or an ultimate failure because they didn't...

The Green Bay Packers failed in multiple phases of the game against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 9, including on special teams and on the final defensive series.  But the most worrisome aspect of the Packers' play on Sunday was their complete and utter failure to both convert on third down on offense and to defend third down on defense. 

Aaron Rodgers' three conversions of third-and-9 or longer on a single drive helped to break the Eagles' back.

The Packers defense has been on the field too much this season. By keeping the chains moving, the Packers offense could do them a solid.

The Packers have been merely average on both third downs and in the red zone so far this season, part of the reason they have a .500 record.

Both in last night's win against Seattle and through two preseason games, Aaron Rodgers and the first-string offense have put up near dominating peformances.
