The Green Bay Packers have played 240 minutes of football in 2005 and have led for a measly 6 min... Packers consistent at one

The only time in four games that the Packers have held a lead was in Week 2 against the Cleveland Browns. It came in the first quarter, when 's 42-yard touchdown reception put the Packers ahead 7-0 at the 9-minute, 48-second mark. With 3:48 left in the same quarter, Cleveland tight end Steve Heiden caught a 1-yard touchdown pass to tie the game.

This season, the opposition has led for 191 minutes and 44 seconds — almost 80 percent of the time — while the Packers have been in front only 2.5 percent of the season and have been tied the other 17.5 percent of the time.

Driver's touchdown against the Browns was the Packers' only score on the opening drive of a game this season. Every opponent, except the Detroit Lions in Week 1, has scored a touchdown on its first possession.

The Packers have been outscored in the first quarter by only eight points (28-20) but have managed just 10 second-quarter points to their opponents' 32. The only quarter in which they hold a scoring advantage is the fourth, when they have outscored opponents 36-20 thanks in part to a 16-6 advantage in Monday's 32-29 loss at Carolina.

Against Carolina, the Packers responded to the Panthers' early touchdown with one of their own but then became inept offensively. On their next three drives, they had two punts and an interception, which Carolina turned into 16 points.

The Packers have lost their last three games by total of six points, but perhaps more telling is the fact they have trailed in all four of their games by double figures — as many as 14 points against Detroit in Week 1, 12 against Cleveland in Week 2, 11 against Tampa Bay in Week 3 and 19 against Carolina on Monday.

From an Xs and Os standpoint, large deficits severely limit play calling and allow defenses to overload against the pass. The Packers are averaging only 22.8 rushing attempts per game. That's nearly five fewer per game than last year.

For that reason, perhaps no ones feels the burden of playing from behind more than quarterback , who is forced to throw in order to try to make up points a hurry.
