What happened: Green Bay has opened the season at the bottom of the league in completion percentage and rushing yards per game. The last team to sit last in both categories through three weeks was the 1989 Dallas Cowboys.
Why it matters: An offense that cannot hit routine throws or generate steady ground production leaves itself little margin on early downs and third down. That kind of two-track inefficiency can turn a bad September into a longer climb before midseason.
By the numbers: Green Bay ranks 32nd in completion percentage and 32nd in rushing yards per game through Week 3. The 1989 Dallas Cowboys are the last team to match that three-week profile, and they finished 1-15.
What to watch: Week 4 will show whether Green Bay can climb out of the cellar in either category. Even a modest bump in one phase would break the historical comparison.
