After dropping a 42-24 decision to the Washington Redskins in Week 11, the Packers were 4-6 and apparently on the road to nowhere. Their defense was miserable, and Aaron Rodgers was having a hard time running the Green Bay offense efficiently, in part because running backs Eddie Lacy and James Starks were hurt.
But even though the Packers were 4-6, they found a way to turn things around. They have won three games in a row and have pulled above the .500 mark.
The defense has picked it up a bit in victories over Philadelphia, Houston and Seattle, and Rodgers has found his stride.
