A roundup of the latest Green Bay Packers articles for Wednesday, Sept. 18.

Welcome to the Packers News Report.

Opportunity. That’s the word that comes to mind for this team for the next couple of weeks. Over the next nine games, Green Bay will play two games and be a quarter of the way through its 2019 schedule. And if the Packers can build on their performances over the first couple of weeks, there’s a chance they could remain undefeated.

With the Denver Broncos and Philadelphia Eagles visiting Lambeau Field in the space of five days, the opportunity will be there to win both and start the season 4-0, putting all the pressure on the other NFC North teams to keep up.

Here’s a roundup of Packers articles from around FanSided.
