GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Two bad football teams showed up at Lambeau Field on Sunday.
And they played like it.
One of them, the Arizona Cardinals, were supposed to be bad with a first-year head coach and a rookie quarterback.
One of them, the Green Bay Packers, were supposed to be a Super Bowl contender with a veteran head coach and a two-time NFL MVP quarterback.
Thirteen weeks into the season, there wasn’t much difference between. A one-win difference in their records, to be exact.
So the fact that the Steve Wilks-coached, Josh Rosen-quarterbacked Cardinals foiled the Mike McCarthy-coached, Aaron Rodgers-quarterbacked Packers 20-17 only cemented both teams in their rightful spots near the bottom of the NFL.
