It felt like an eternity, but the Green Bay Packers (5-7-1) finally captured a win for the first time in four games on Sunday with a 34-20 beating of Atlanta. In what was only the Packers’ second win in seven games, Joe Philbin earned his first victory as Green Bay interim head coach. The Packers will try to win back-to-back games for the first time all season this Sunday.
Standing in their way are the Chicago Bears, who find themselves potentially one “W” away from a playoff spot. A somewhat surprising victory over the Rams on Sunday night stretched the Bears’ divisional lead another game, while providing fans with a sense that Chicago may be the best team in the NFC.
