Green Bay Packers: 5 X-Factors for a Deep Playoff Run

The Green Bay Packers secured a first-round bye, but if they hope to make a deep run to the Super Bowl, they will need these five players to be at the top of their games.

While it wasn’t always pretty, the Green Bay Packers finished the season 13-3, winners of the NFC North, while also earning a first-round bye in the playoffs. And in the end, that is really all that matters. Now it is time for them to rest up, get healthy, and begin preparing for their next opponent which could be New Orleans, Seattle, or Philadelphia depending on the outcomes from this weekend’s games.

With that said, regardless of who the Packers’ opponent is, they need to make sure that they take care of business on their own end. And in order for them to make a run to the Super Bowl, they are going to need some solid performances from these five players in particular.

Now of course, these five players alone won’t win a game and just because someone isn’t on the list, doesn’t mean that they don’t play an important role. But for this group, they play key roles and if they can perform at a high-level, this is going to be a very difficult Green Bay Packers team to beat.

Also keep in mind that these players aren’t listed in any particular order.
