Much is on the line this week for the Green Bay Packers, who will return to Arizona to face a Cardinals team that dismantled them back in Week 16 with a 38-8 victory. Heading back to Arizona for the divisional round, the Packers bring the concept of momentum with injuries not projecting to be as big of a factor.
The Cardinals were able to sack Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers at will in Week 16, getting to him eight times before he was pulled for back up quarterback Scott Tolzien. Struggling to keep offensive lineman on the field that day, the Packers were vastly mismatched from the threat of Arizona’s powerful defensive line.
