The Green Bay Packers have finally made it to their bye week. It’s been a long, roller-coaster ride so far, but the Packers arrive at their week off with an NFC North-leading 8-2 record. Before the start of the season, one has to think Matt LaFleur would’ve been delighted with that.
The Packers aren’t just in first place of the NFC North, but they’ve also moved into the top two of the NFC following their victory over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. The New Orleans Saints surprisingly lost at home to the Atlanta Falcons. As things stand, the Packers are on course for a first-round bye in the playoffs.
