19. Green Bay Packers

The Green Bay Packers must be concerned over the fact that Aaron Rodgers doesn’t seem capable of lasting the entire season with gimpy leg, as the last thing this team wanted to do was lose a key game on the road like Sunday against the Washington Redskins. When looking at how the NFC North is shaping out to be, each win is going to be key for the Packers over these next few months, and if Rodgers isn’t going to be healthy, it’s going to make this even more challenging.

On paper, the two touchdown passes by Rodgers may not seem like that big of a reason for concern, but seeing how Green Bay as a team only put up 17 points in their loss to Washington shows this team is in need of help. Not to mention, the Packers’ defense had absolutely zero answers when it came to keeping a familiar face in Adrian Peterson in check after the veteran running back torched them for 120 rushing yards and two scores on just 19 carries.

When healthy, Rodgers is always going to make Green Bay a serious Super Bowl contender, but it’s difficult to figure out what to expect from this team over the next couple of weeks. Since his leg is going to continue being a concern, the Packers may need all of the extra help they can get on offense with all of the uncertainty surrounding Rodgers at the moment.
