NFC Playoff Race: Green Bay Packers' Crucial Stretch

Segment Spotlight: Quick Hits From Outspoken With Dan Sileo

Packers Surge Behind Jordan Love, While Cowboys Continue to Frustrate

The Green Bay Packers have turned their season around and now sit at 6-3 in a highly competitive NFC North. Their progress was on display when they scored 45 points against the Patriots.

Jordan Love is playing exceptionally well, particularly as a downfield passer. His connection with Christian Watson and Matthew Golden has created an explosive passing attack that has become difficult for opposing defenses to contain.

The Patriots hoped Christian Gonzalez could neutralize one of Green Bay’s receivers, but he had his worst game as a professional. The Packers’ passing attack ultimately made a major difference.

Jonathan Gannon’s defense has also started to improve. If that development continues and Micah Parsons gets closer to returning, the unit could help turn Green Bay into a Super Bowl contender. The Packers have made significant progress since their Week 3 loss to the Falcons on Thursday Night Football.

Meanwhile, the Cowboys struggled against the Colts. Although Dallas still has a path to winning the NFC East, the team has done little to inspire confidence that it will happen.

The Cowboys remain a frustrating team to watch, and Schottheimer’s seat could become increasingly hot. The Colts were in a fire sale, yet Dallas still struggled against them.
