Pivotal games to define Packers’ season: Week 7 at Denver Broncos

The game itself against Denver isn’t as big, but the circumstances surrounding the contest will peel back another layer about the 2023 Packers.

Green Bay travels across the country in Week 5 to play the Las Vegas Raiders before returning home for a bye in Week 6. They then head back West to take on Denver in Week 7. Considering a lot of players will probably head home or to various locations during Week 6, it could be a lot of travel in a three-week span.
