The Green Bay Packers' offense has faced difficulties this season, particularly on the road, where they have accumulated 36 penalties. This marks the highest number of road flags in the NFL. Poor offensive discipline has led to significant 'hidden yardage' losses, with a particular issue on first downs, where they have been flagged 15 times. The coaching staff needs to address these penalties to improve their chances of playoff contention moving forward.
