The Cincinnati Bengals game is quickly fading in the rearview mirror for the Green Bay Packers, but I wanted to take a quick look at 2 plays before it fully fades from view. Both of these are short-yardage plays with the same basic set-up, but with slightly different ways to win.

This first play takes place on the Packers’ first drive of the game. After a good start to the drive, they’re now facing 4th & 1 at the Bengals’ 26-yard line. They want to end the drive in a touchdown, so they go for it on 4th down in field goal range in an attempt to achieve that goal.

They’re in 11 personnel (1 RB, 1 TE, 3 WR) in an empty formation. It’s a tight, 3×2 formation, with Josh Jacobs [8] in-line on the right, Tucker Kraft [85] in-line on the left, and the receivers in tight splits on either side.
