4-6. Previous: . Green Bay Packers. 26. team. 49. Aaron Rodgers and the Packers were embarrassed on Sunday Night Football by the Redskins. Losers of four straight games, Green Bay is slipping further down the NFC North standings. Injuries on defense will define their season, especially the ones at linebacker and running back. Rodgers led the team in rushing, while on defense Green Bay literally ran out of linebackers. Christine Michael will hopefully give the Packers some life running the ball, but this defense can’t stop a spinning top. Mike McCarthy’s 10 years were good ones, but the signs are pointing to the end for him in Green Bay. <p>Next Week: Green Bay will now travel to Philadelphia for Monday Night Football against an Eagles team that is undefeated at home. The game has major playoff implications for both teams, giving some extra juice to an already raucous atmosphere. This game could go either way and turn ugly quick. </p> <p>Playoff hopes: Green Bay needs to correct their issues now, or else they’ll be out of the playoffs for the first time since 2008, Rodgers’ first year as their starter. Having the final three games of the year against division opponents makes the situation even tougher. The fact that two are on the road? Even worse.</p>
