5 biggest threats to Eagles in NFC following Week 3 of 2019 season

2. Packers

Don’t look now, but the Green Bay Packers are playing at a high level from a few years ago in which they seem determined to make a serious run at the Super Bowl.

One can only imagine the high level of frustration surrounding the Packers over the last two seasons after watching the playoffs from home since the team normally seemed to be at least a lock for a Wild Card spot.

But at least with Green Bay off to one of the hottest starts across the NFL at 3-0, Aaron Rodgers seems to have this team exactly where they need to be.

Unfortunately for the Eagles, the team along with all of their injuries will get to face the Packers on a shorter week by playing this Thursday in what should be an extremely difficult game at Lambeau Field.

No one needs to explain what kind of atmosphere Philadelphia should expect since Packers fans always do their best to give the team a major advantage playing at home, but hopefully the Eagles can perform better than expected.

Obviously, this game would most likely be a lot more competitive if certain players for Philadelphia were healthy enough to play, but also at least this will be a good test to see how they look against a legitimate contender in Green Bay.
