GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The Green Bay Packers once again put themselves in an early hole.This time, they couldn’t quite dig their way out.Jordan Love was sacked four times and the Packers gained just 21 yards in the first half of a 34-20 loss to the Detroit Lions on Thursday night. The brutal start came four nights after they beat the New Orleans Saints 18-17 only by scoring 18 unanswered points in the game’s final 11 minutes.This marked the first time since 1990 that the Packers faced halftime deficits of at least 17 points in back-to-back weeks. They trailed 17-0 at halftime against the Saints and were down 27-3 at the break Thursday.“We’ve got to find out what that is,” Love said. “And I think everybody just has to play better at the start of the game, me included. I’ve got to be able to come out and start fast and put points up so we’re not playing from behind and making it harder on the defense.”Green Bay figured to have some growing pains in the first year of the post-Aaron Rod...
