2018 NFL Power Rankings Week 6: Eagles lose tough battle of NFC Championship rematch
By Dan Parzych
13. Green Bay Packers
This looked like one of those weeks in which the Green Bay Packers seemed like they would end up struggling when looking at all of the injuries the team was dealing with, and one can only imagine how different the outcome would have been if it wasn’t for that horrendous start. The Packers dug themselves a deep hole early on when they ended up trailing the Detroit Lions 24-0 at halftime, and even though they only lost the game 31-23, this one still hurts.
Aaron Rodgers and company never like to lose a game within the division, as the Green Bay star quarterback ended up throwing for 442 yards to go along with three touchdowns in the loss, showing just how much the Packers dominated for the most part in the second half. But at the end of the day, Green Bay has to feel frustrated over losing a game like this one.
On another note, it’s amazing to see Rodgers continue to play at this high of a level when looking at how his season seemed to be in jeopardy back in Week 1 when he suffered what appeared to be a brutal leg injury. Watching his performance go to complete waste was disappointing on Green Bay’s end, but knowing Rodgers, the quarterback will only use this as motivation to make sure his team bounces back stronger.
