The Green Bay Packers (5-7-1, 1-2-1 NFC North) finally found some rhythm in Week 14 and picked up a much needed 34-20 win over the Atlanta Falcons (4-9, 2-2 NFC South) Sunday at Lambeau Field.
A win, a tie, and now a loss. After starting the season with a thrilling comeback in week one, a roller coaster of a game that ended in a tie in week two, the Packers (1-1-1, 1-0-1 NFC North) could not find their rhythm in week three, and fell to the Redskins (2-1, 0-0 NFC East) 31-17 at FedEx Field in Maryland Sunday afternoon.
The Atlanta Falcons are sick and tired of hearing about how the Packers are going to waltz into Atlanta and win handily. They'd like to remind you that they're the #1 seed, they won the FIRST time, and they're going to do it again.
In the year's last "easy" game, the Packers face the Lions, who'd love nothing more than spoil the Packers season and break their 19-game division loss streak.
I keep saying that "these aren't last year's Detroit Lions," and I believe it...when everyone's healthy. Injuries are dooming the Lions early this year.
