It might take a little while longer before the Green Bay Packers are considered serious contenders in the NFC. But so far, so good. Matt LaFleur’s team has overcome two difficult challenges in as many weeks, securing huge victories against division rivals.
With the way Mike Pettine’s defense is playing, the Packers can hold their own against just about any offense. The offense now needs to step up another level, but the encouraging signs were there in a dominant first quarter performance against the Minnesota Vikings.
After winning their opening two games of the regular season, the Packers have moved up four positions to sixth in the NFL Spin Zone power rankings for Week 3 by Randy Gurzi.
