Packers’ Tough First Five | Green Bay Packers News

0:00On September 12th, alright, let's talk about the Green Bay Packers. After a rough end to last season, losing their last five games, they're looking to flip the script. They made some moves, shoring up the defense and the receiver room, and even getting some key players back. The big question is, can they start strong? Their first five matchups are against Minnesota. The Jets, Atlanta, Tampa Bay, and Chicago. First up, they head to Minnesota. The Packers have a rough history in that stadium, winning only three of their last ten games there. Plus, with some injuries on the offensive line and the Vikings' defense, it's shaping up to be a tough opener. It's likely not going to be the best version of Green Bay we see right out of the gate. Then, it's a trip to face the New York Jets. This game has a bit of a callback to a 2014 matchup, where the Packers came back from a big deficit. While the Jets have some talent, their defense struggled last year, and their quarterback has a history of turnovers. Jordan Love should be able to exploit some matchups here.

1:00Week three brings the Atlanta Falcons to Green Bay for a Thursday night game. The Packers have a solid home opener streak. In this year, it should be no different. Atlanta has offensive weapons, but their quarterback situation is uncertain, and they're missing key pass rushers. That's a big problem against the quarterback like Jordan Love, who thrives when he has time. After that, the Packers travel to Tampa Bay. History shows that this team sometimes has an unexpected slip up, and a road game in Florida in early October feels like a prime candidate for that. They've had embarrassing losses in Tampa Bay before, and this could be another one of those games. Finally, they host the Chicago Bears. This is a game where Green Bay matches up well, especially with Chicago's wheat pass rush. Jordan Love has had a lot of success against the Bears in the past, and even if a key defensive player for Green Bay is still out, love should have. Opportunities to move the ball and secure a win.
