And that’s a wrap, folks—it’s not even December, but the Packers’ 2018 season is effectively over (spare me your three percent chance talk). In a game that was maddeningly similar to many others this team has played this year, the Packers squandered opportunity after opportunity and came up short on the road, extending the team’s road losing streak to eight games and falling to 4-6-1. It was a game that, if the Packers won it, would have kept them alive with reasonable hopes for a postseason berth. But just like that, it all comes crashing down.
Looking back on the game, the turning point is easy to spot.
