For the first time in over a year, Tucker Kraft did not catch a pass for the Green Bay Packers last Sunday. In fact, Kraft had 19 straight games with two or more catches before the win in Chicago, a clear indication of how important he has become for a Packers team that desperately needed a playmaker at tight end.
On the other sideline this Sunday will be one of Kraft’s idols, a player that any young tight end looks up to these days: George Kittle. Kittle has had plenty of success against the Packers in his career.
