Packers face tough road game against Chiefs in 2019
The Green Bay Packers face a tough road game against the Kansas City Chiefs in 2019.
The last time the Green Bay Packers and Kansas City Chiefs met in the regular season, Randall Cobb caught three touchdown passes in a comfortable 38-28 victory for Green Bay at Lambeau Field.
Their next meeting might be a little different. The two teams will play at Arrowhead Stadium in the 2019 season, and it could be the toughest game on the Packers’ schedule.
Mike Pettine’s defense will need to play its best game of the season up against arguably the league’s best offense.
This will be a big test for the defense to see how much the pass rush and secondary has improved. That won’t be easy up against the league-MVP Patrick Mahomes, who threw 50 touchdown passes in his first year as the starting quarterback in Kansas City.
Will the secondary be able to slow down Tyreek Hill, Sammy Watkins and Travis Kelce?
Green Bay will also need to be much-improved on the road to have a chance in this game. The Packers lost their first seven road games in 2018 before finally getting a victory against the New York Jets with their final game away from Lambeau Field.
The NFL hasn’t announced when this game will be played. The regular season schedule is usually released in mid-April.
Ideally, this game will take place early in the season. It would give the Packers a big test early on to see whether they can compete with one of the league’s best teams. If Green Bay is outplayed and loses, the game will be early enough in the season to learn from it and make improvements. If the Packers got the win, it could give them the confidence to build from.
Let’s just hope the Packers don’t visit Arrowhead Stadium late in December needing a victory to stay in playoff contention.
