Packers News: NFC North too close to call after bye week

A roundup of the latest Green Bay Packers articles for Monday, October 22.

Good morning and welcome to the Packers News Report. The Green Bay Packers‘ bye week is complete, and they now enter an important five-game stretch than begins against the undefeated Los Angeles Rams in Week 8.

Green Bay will need to win its only home game in the next five — at home to Miami in Week 10 — and hope to get a victory or two on the road. But that won’t be easy, as the four road opponents are the LA Rams, New England, Seattle and Minnesota.

Green Bay is yet to win a road game in 2018. If that trend continues over the next five weeks, the team will have a record no better than 4-6-1.

But they’ve had the bye week to put things right after an inconsistent start to the season, and they’ll hope to be much healthier this week against the Rams.

Here’s a roundup of the latest articles from around the internet.
