Week 10 was a good one for the Green Bay Packers. Thanks to a losses by the teams ahead of them in the NFC playoff picture, the Packers now have an opportunity to claim home-field advantage in the playoffs right in front of them.
On Sunday afternoon, the Packers got a gift in the form of a flat performance by the New Orleans Saints. They lost at home 26-9 to the Atlanta Falcons, a divisional rival but a team that came into the game with a 1-7 record. The Falcons were in Drew Brees’ face all game, hitting him 11 times and bringing him down six times for sacks.
