These three players on the Green Bay Packers are slumping right when the stakes matter the most this season.

With just five games remaining, the Green Bay Packers have every opportunity to secure home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. They trail the New Orleans Saints by one game and might need to win out to play exclusively at Lambeau Field this postseason, but it’s certainly achievable.

In order for that to happen, they need everyone to step up to the plate and rise to the challenge. We already highlighted four players who are getting hot at the right time, and today we preview three players who are potentially on the verge of a slump.

3. Kinglsey Keke

We all know about the Packers’ inability to stop the run–they rank 25th in opponent rush yards per attempt–and a lot of that starts upfront with the defensive line. Kenny Clark is the only consistent player the Packers have up there, and he could benefit from a teammate helping him out. Kinglsey Keke has flashed the ability to battle in the trenches this season, but is coming off one of his worst games against the Chicago Bears. Hopefully, it’s not a sign of things to come for the second-year pro.
