A roundup of the latest Green Bay Packers articles for Saturday, December 1.

Good morning and welcome to the Packers News Report. And a happy December to all of our readers! Here’s hoping it will be a merry December for the Green Bay Packers, who need a Christmas miracle to turn their season around and make the playoffs.

But when Aaron Rodgers is your quarterback, anything can happen. This team was in a similar position at 4-6 two years ago. They had lost four straight and looked anything but a playoff team.

That year they were lucky that the NFC North was much closer, but this season the wild-card race is far from over. Green Bay will need some help, but five wins would likely be enough. Now it’s a question of if this team can win five in a row.

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