Pivotal games to define Packers’ season: Week 13 vs Kansas City Chiefs

The Chiefs are the defending Super Bowl champions and clearly the best team Green Bay will face all season. By Week 13, the Packers will already have 11 games under their belt and will know exactly where they fall in the playoff race. How will they respond against a team that is loaded with talent?

Love’s first extensive game action came against Kansas City and it will be fun to see how he’s progressed since then. The Chiefs don’t have a haunting defense, but they can do enough to make life difficult for an overwhelmed quarterback.

The defense will also get a major test against Patrick Mahomes and company. Speaking of his company, Marquez Valdes-Scantling will return to Green Bay for the first time.
