Green Bay Packers five most likely 2019 primetime games
3. At Kansas City Chiefs
Arguably the toughest game on the Packers’ schedule, a matchup between Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes might be too tough to pass up in primetime. Mahomes will be looking to match his incredible MVP season with 5,097 yards and 50 touchdowns. Rodgers will be aiming to win his third league-MVP award, and first since 2014, this year.
Can a new-look Green Bay offense led by Matt LaFleur match Kansas City’s dominance? For the Chiefs, will they be able to play at the same level, or will defenses adjust?
Even if Mike Pettine enters the game with an excellent plan, it’ll be very difficult to stop the Chiefs offense considering the amount of talent they have. For the Packers to have a chance, they’ll need to be a lot better offensively then they were in 2018.
But if both offenses hit their potential this year, the meeting at Arrowhead Stadium could be one of the games of the season.
A lot has changed since the Packers’ 38-28 win over the Chiefs at Lambeau Field the last time these two teams played each other four years ago. This time, few will expect a Packers victory.
Even so, this game has the potential to be high scoring and highly entertaining.
