Green Bay Packers at New England Patriots: 5 matchups to watch

Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers are taking on Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. If they lose these matchups, they’ll lose these games.

The Green Bay Packers travel to New England for a battle with the Patriots this weekend as they look to bounce back from their letdown against the Los Angeles Rams. Luckily for them, they are playing in a tight division where their 3-3-1 record still has them tied for second right now. After a close loss last week, it’s very conceivable that they come out of this week with a win. However, they’ll need to win these matchups to get that done.

The Patriots (6-2) have continued their usual run of dominance in the NFL, but they have looked anything but indestructible this season. Both the Detroit Lions and Jacksonville Jaguars dominated them in their two losses, but everyone knows that Tom Brady and the Patriots are a different animal later in the season at home. Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers have been good, but they will need to be great this week.

These teams possess two of the best quarterbacks to ever play the game of football, so the defenses will be tested greatly. However, these defenses have also shown the ability to be up to the task at times this season. This is a possible Super Bowl preview if both teams hit their respective strides down the stretch run of the season. At the end of the day, it’s all about this week that decides what happens moving forward.
