A roundup of the latest Green Bay Packers articles for Monday, December 10.

Good morning and welcome to the Packers News Report, and happy Victory Monday! It’s been a while for the Green Bay Packers.

Sunday’s win against the Atlanta Falcons was the most complete performance we’ve seen by Green Bay in some time, and it could be a result of the coaching change. Joe Philbin deserves credit.

With the win, as well as a few results going Green Bay’s way on Sunday, this team is still just about in the playoff race. More on that in a moment.

Stay tuned to Lombardi Ave this morning. Jesse Fry’s weekly article looking at the top five performers from the game will be published, as will Ryan Sanville’s article about why Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy should be a frontrunner in Green Bay’s search for its next head coach.
