Field Yates welcomes Eric Galko of Optimum Scouting and the Sporting News to weigh in on Brett Hundley's progression and potential, as well as what QB's historically you can compare him to skills-wise. Plus, do the Packers still have a shot at the playoffs with him under center?

The Packers tried a rotation in the secondary – playing nine different DBs – but it didn't work. Drew Brees still shredded them for 331 yards, most of it on short-to-intermediate passes. Here's the snap-count breakdown on defense from Sunday's 26-17 loss to the Saints.

Through three games, Antetokounmpo is averaging 38.3 points, 9.7 rebounds and 5.0 assists.

Well, maybe Aaron Rodgers will be back. That may be the best thing you can say about the Packers after their first game without the two-time NFL MVP quarterback. But if Brett Hundley can't manage to win a couple of games – and Sunday's loss to the Saints looked like a prime spot to get one -- then the Packers may be so far out of it that by the time Rodgers' broken collarbone heals, it won't be worth putting him back on the field. As Adam Schefter reported on Sunday morning, there's a chance Rodgers could return after eight weeks. But will it be too late to save their season?
