It was five weeks ago that Aaron Rodgers told reporters that he felt the Packers could run the table despite an 18-point loss to Washington plummeting the team to 4-6 on the season.
Concentrating strictly on the next team on the schedule, the Packers have clawed their way back into the playoff chase and now face another NFC North championship showdown following Saturday’s 38-25 win over Minnesota.
Next Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions will mark the fourth straight year the Packers will play a Week 17 game with the division title on the line.
