Add Us On GoogleAdd as a preferred source on Google

The Green Bay Packers defense absolutely dominated the Buffalo Bills during Sunday's match up at Lambeau Field for the team's first shut out in eight years.

The Packers defense racked up seven sacks of Bills QB Josh Allen. Allen was intercepted twice in a disappointing performance by the rookie.

This is the first time the Packers have shut out another team since their 9-0 victory over the Jets on Halloween 2010.

Green Bay extended its home winning streak against the Bills to four games. The Packers are now 2-1-1 on the season.

Another high point was the explosive running game of RB Aaron Jones. Jones will break it all down for Chris Roth on Sunday's Cover 2. It airs at 10:35 p.m. on WBAY.

Packers WR Geronimo Allison suffered a concussion in the game.

Should I jinx it? Last #packers shutout was Halloween of 2010, 9-0 win at the Jets.
— Mark Daniels (@markdanielsWNFL) September 30, 2018

That's 8 punts and 2 picks for #Bills offense. Ugh
— Mark Daniels (@markdanielsWNFL) September 30, 2018

Having lost 14 yards in sack yardage this series, the #Bills are now back below 100 yards of total offense today.

Injury update: WR Geronimo Allison is being evaluated for a concussion. CB Jaire Alexander has a groin injury & his return is questionable.

There's the free runner we talked so much about during training camp. Whitehead with sack to end quarter.

My word, Rodgers was HOT at Valdes-Scantling after that near pick six. As a rookie you have to always be where Rodgers thinks you will be and have to compete for balls. Could've been a huge momentum swing for Bills
— Dave Schroeder (@SchroederWBAY) September 30, 2018

Rookie watch, Allen with a terrible decision on 3rd-17 throws INT to Ha Ha that gets Kelvin Benjamin killed ��‍♂️ ... hate to see anyone get hurt. That's 100 percent on the QB
— Dave Schroeder (@SchroederWBAY) September 30, 2018

Big collision with Ha Ha coming up with third pick in three weeks. Kelvin Benjamin is still down.
— Mark Daniels (@markdanielsWNFL) September 30, 2018

according to @CBSSports broadcast, zero roughing the passer penalties so far in week 4. Coincidence? I think not
— Chris Roth (@rothchris) September 30, 2018

Opening series stalls at the 18 when Rodgers gets drilled on clean blitz by Edmunds. Crosby good from 36 to make it 19-0.
— Mark Daniels (@markdanielsWNFL) September 30, 2018

We are accustomed to Rodgers being pinpoint accurate. He has missed receivers, throws behind and high, but his players are making a lot of plays for him, and Rodgers is still making the occasional exceptional play extending downs
— Dave Schroeder (@SchroederWBAY) September 30, 2018

Rodgers continues to be off, but Packers still making plays and moving sticks, unlike last week
— Dave Schroeder (@SchroederWBAY) September 30, 2018

Fast start today, #Packers lead 16-0 at half after Crosby 52-TD FG. Defense has been remarkable
— Dave Schroeder (@SchroederWBAY) September 30, 2018

A gift from above! Allen under duress with a horrible decision and an easy pick for Jaire. And this one counts.
— Mark Daniels (@markdanielsWNFL) September 30, 2018

not the double dip I was thinking; Martinez gets flagged (after he was punched and no call) and Alexander could have been flagged. So Bills ball...woof
— Chris Roth (@rothchris) September 30, 2018

patented McCarthy end of half timeout; will try to double dip before the half and with the ball to start the 2nd half #Packers #WBAY
— Chris Roth (@rothchris) September 30, 2018

Blake Martinez gets 15 yard flag for taking off his helmet after a third down stop.
— Mark Daniels (@markdanielsWNFL) September 30, 2018

First Aaron Rodgers INT of the year was tipped twice - 1st by Tremaine Edmunds, then Jimmy Graham, before Jordan Poyer got his hands on it. 11 yard return. #packers #BUFvsGB
— Lindsey Pallares WBAY (@lindseylares) September 30, 2018

Rodgers first pick of the year deflects off Graham's hands.
— Mark Daniels (@markdanielsWNFL) September 30, 2018

Packers defense has forced 4 punts on 4 drives, theee 3-and-out variety, allowed only 2 first downs to BUF offense and 1 single 3rd-down conversion #packers #GBvsBUF
— Dave Schroeder (@SchroederWBAY) September 30, 2018

interesting alignment, Daniels lined up at defensive end, and hit Allen when he threw the ball
— Chris Roth (@rothchris) September 30, 2018

Clay Matthews gets his first sack with no dirty laundry! The fans at Lambeau are bursting with joy! #packers #BUFvsGB
— Lindsey Pallares WBAY (@lindseylares) September 30, 2018

3-headed monster much? Each of the running backs has been on display in the #packers 1st 3 offensive series. Aaron Jones punches in the 3 yd. TD. GB leads it 13-0. #BUFvsGB
— Lindsey Pallares WBAY (@lindseylares) September 30, 2018

Our #Cover2 guest is killing it! @Showtyme_33 with a 30-yard run, 3rd down conversion, 17-yard run, AND TD run all on that same drive �� #Packers #GBvsBUF
— Dave Schroeder (@SchroederWBAY) September 30, 2018

A pleasant development to see no roughing called on Morrison hit on Allen ��
— Dave Schroeder (@SchroederWBAY) September 30, 2018

Jimmy Graham's first touchdown as a Packer came on third-and-3 from the slot left. One play earlier he was lined up tight to the right tackle and it appeared he got caught in between blocking and running a route. Either way, Graham is a red-zone weapon. https://t.co/qjK3l8uNPl
— Rob Demovsky (@RobDemovsky) September 30, 2018

That’s Ty Montgomery’s career longest pass reception - 43 yards. #packers #BUFvsGB
— Lindsey Pallares WBAY (@lindseylares) September 30, 2018

Of all the calls... 3rd and 11 from Jude beyond FG range the Packers run Williams?
— Dave Schroeder (@SchroederWBAY) September 30, 2018

graphic on broadcast, #Packers facing 9.9 yards to go on 3rd downs this year, yikes that's a ton, and last in the NFL
— Chris Roth (@rothchris) September 30, 2018

Interesting sequence:
Third-and-11 from the Bills' 41.
Play clock running down.

Draw run by Jamaal Williams for 0.

Situational football was a phrase used a lot this week, and #Packers in a situation here with 3rd and 11 on what looked to be a promising drive #WBAY @Cover_2
— Chris Roth (@rothchris) September 30, 2018

Guess the knee is better, or practicing Thursday makes a big difference #Packers

Brice good start for guy coming off a rough game in DC #Packers
