Malik Willis QB vs. Tanner McKee QB
While playing in seven games for Green Bay, Malik Willis did manage to showcase some improvement. He has a passer rating of 124.8 with a completion percentage of 74.1; however these stats are backed by an abysmally small sample size. He has been able to efficiently control the game and most importantly, stave off interceptions, but his lack of experience may prove to be a significant disadvantage during playoff games.
Tanner McKee, on the contrary, has had the chance to play only two games so far and as a result has only two starts under his belt yet he boasts a passer rating of 116.8 and a completion percentage of 66.7%. His effective ball distribution alongside calm gameplay has been able to provide the Eagles’ offense with a new spark which means that he would be less of a liability in terms of his novice status and more of an asset for the team.
When two quarterbacks are fighting to be on the same team, there is bound to be some interesting amalgamation of skills. While McKee specializing in precision passing is worrying for the defensive unit of the Packers, and Bush’s ball handling and movement has been impressive against the Eagles, the real interesting part of the Goblet ends up being which QB is able to mold their playing style to second the playoffs.
Packers’ Recent Surge
Josh Jacobs and Jayden Reed have been pivotal for the Packers’ offensive strategy. Jacobs, with 1329 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns, has been a powerhouse in the backfield, providing stability and explosive plays. His performance in recent losses to Chicago and Minnesota, however, shows that even stellar individual efforts need more support to translate into wins. Reed, accumulating 857 receiving yards on 55 receptions, offers a reliable target for Willis. His ability to turn receptions into significant gains will be crucial, especially against an Eagles defense that has occasionally shown vulnerability against dynamic receivers.
Eagles’ Balanced Offensive Threat
Philadelphia’s offensive might is underscored by Saquon Barkley’s exceptional season, amassing over 2000 rushing yards. His ability to break games open with his runs has been unmatched, as evidenced in the recent solid wins against the Giants and Cowboys. Grant Calcaterra, though not as prolific, provides a dependable option in the tight end spot, adding another layer to the Eagles’ attack that could pose significant challenges for the Packers’ defensive setups.
