3 games Green Bay Packers fans should watch in Week 3

Three games Green Bay Packers fans should watch closely in Week 3.

The Green Bay Packers will be aiming to win back-to-back games when they take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this week.

But there are also other games Packers fans should keep a close eye on.

Here are three games to watch in Week 3.

3 games Packers fans should watch in Week 3

Texans at Bears

Are the Chicago Bears for real? They beat the San Francisco 49ers in Week 1 but were outplayed by the Packers last Sunday night. Chicago now has a couple of winnable games, starting at home against the Houston Texans.

This could be a must-win for Chicago if it wants to make a serious playoff push. We’ll learn a lot about the Bears in Week 3.

Lions at Vikings

This is a fascinating game.

The Minnesota Vikings looked dominant in Week 1 as they destroyed the Packers at U.S. Bank Stadium. But it was a different story against the Philadelphia Eagles last week. Which game showed the real Vikings?

Meanwhile, the Detroit Lions have won one, lost one, but played in two entertaining games. They have the No. 2 scoring offense but the No. 31 scoring defense. Maybe we’re set for another high-scoring game.

One of these NFC North rivals is improving to 2-1, barring a tie, of course.

49ers at Broncos

All Packers fans will be delighted if the San Francisco 49ers don’t make the playoffs. They made a slow start to the season with a surprise defeat at Soldier Field but got back on track against the Seattle Seahawks.

Any time the 49ers lose, it’s good news. Keep them away from the playoffs.

Hopefully, the Denver Broncos can hand the 49ers their second defeat of the season.

San Francisco could be one of the top challengers in the NFC this year. This will be a game to watch in Week 3.
