Packers achieve record with win over Panthers on TNF

The Green Bay Packers secured a victory against the Carolina Panthers on 'Thursday Night Football' in Week 8, improving their record to 5-3. This win marked a historic moment as the Packers became the first team in NFL history to maintain a winning record despite rushing for fewer than 500 yards over the first eight games of a season. In this matchup, the Packers managed only 66 rushing yards, continuing their struggles on the ground. Coach Matt LaFleur acknowledged the need for improvement, pointing out the pressure it places on the passing game. The Packers have secured four wins in their last five games, largely thanks to contributions from the passing attack, while Josh Jacobs scored a rushing touchdown despite a challenging performance.
