STACKED’s take
Prescott's 2 INTs, 258 yards stem from Packers' coverage disguise confusion.
Prescott struggled against Green Bay's pressure disguise scheme, completing 34 passes for 258 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. The Packers' defensive coordinator Gannon showed four different coverage rotations from identical pre-snap alignments, leaving Prescott unable to decipher the actual coverage. On a critical third-and-7, Prescott saw the late defensive shift with only three seconds left, too late to reset protection; four rushers came off the weak side against three blockers, forcing an immediate throw into coverage. On a fourth-down rollout designed to escape pressure, Prescott faced cover-3 instead of the expected blitz, eliminating half the field and forcing an incomplete pass. On another play, Prescott was a beat late recognizing cover-2 and nearly threw his third interception attempting an outside hitch into a cloud corner—a throw he likely never attempts if he reads the coverage pre-snap.
