This was always going to be a challenging matchup. The Packers benefit from having one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL today in the form of Aaron Rodgers, while the Texans have Brock Osweiler and Nicholas Cage Tom Savage. Even though A-Rod has struggled mightily this season, even his worst performances haven’t been as cringeworthy as Brock has been at times this season.
On paper, this should be a matchup between two offensive-minded head coaches, in Mike McCarthy and Bill O’Brien. In reality, though both coaches exhibit some boneheaded moves at times during games, it’s hard to argue that OB’s offense when clicking has shown that it can keep pace with McCarthy’s offense when clicking.
