What a difference a year makes for the Green Bay Packers.
Last season at this time and really for the past few years, the Packers have been out of the playoff race.
Back in 2016, Green Bay recovered from 4-6 to rally and win the NFC North after running the table.
Two years ago, the Packers were 5-5 at this juncture and without an injured Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay couldn't rally and reach the postseason.
Key losses on the road to Seattle and Minnesota sunk Green Bay last season too. They entered the stretch 4-4-1 and left it 4-6-1.
