GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Good health and good fortune helped the Green Bay Packers win the NFC North title and reach the conference championship game last season.
The Packers haven’t been as healthy so far this year. They haven’t needed to be as lucky.
Green Bay (4-0) heads into its bye week as one of the NFL’s six remaining unbeaten teams after defeating the Atlanta Falcons 30-16 on Monday night. A team that relied on an uncanny knack for winning close games last year now is beating teams much more handily as it seeks to take the next step.
