It's pretty clear why the Green Bay Packers fell more than a few spots in many of the national lists known as NFL power rankings. In addition to Sunday's loss to the Minnesota Vikings, there seemed to be more concern about the Packers' defense than the fact that they're 0-2 this season when quarterback Jordan Love starts.

The Rams are hurting. No way around it. Receivers Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua are both out, tight end Tyler Higbee is on the PUP list and five different offensive linemen, including starters Steve Avila and Jonah Jackson, are on injured reserve. Cornerbacks Darious Williams, Derion Kendrick, Tre Tomlinson are also on injured reserve.

Packers 26, Rams 13. Green Bay has been rather pedestrian in games Jordan Love has started, though it was an abysmally slow start that doomed the Packers last week
