The job is far from done for the Green Bay Packers. A four-game winning streak and a 9-3-1 record are nice, but at the end of the day, what matters for the franchise is the Vince Lombardi Trophy. Plus, Green Bay has a tough assignment ahead, as the team is scheduled to face the top overall seed at the moment in the NFL in the form of the Denver Broncos.
In Week 15, Jordan Love and company will take on the Broncos at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver. The Packers have a chance to extend their hot streak while ending another lengthy one, as Denver is on a scorching 10-game winning run.
Packers can’t take their foot off the gas
A day after steering his team to a 28-21 win at Lambeau Field over the Chicago Bears , Green bay head coach Matt LaFleur opened up about keeping his team on its toes amid the recent success.
Via Rob Demovsky of ESPN :
Packers coach Matt LaFleur on how to make sure his team doesn’t relax after it clawed its way back into first place:
“Just look at the landscape of the league. Everyone is neck and neck … everyone is right there.”
That is true. In the NFC North alone, the Packers still can’t feel complacent just because they are back on top of the division’s standings again. The Bears and the Detroit Lions are still a huge threat, as they are 9-4 and 8-5 through Week 14, respectively.
The good news for Green Bay is that it has full control of its fate in the division, as the Packers remain in pursuit as well for the top seed in the NFC.
