The Packers sat atop the NFC North entering Week 9 action thanks to a 5–1–1 record and a well-rounded offense led by Jordan Love. Tight end Tucker Kraft is the breakout star of this year’s campaign though. A third-round pick in the 2023 NFL draft, Kraft recorded a pair of 100-yard outings in seven games entering Week 9 and established himself as one of the top receiving tight ends in the league, particularly after the catch.
Kraft seemed ready to show out again on Sunday with the Panthers in town but was limited to two catches for 20 yards in the first half. Then disaster struck in the second half.
