2. Week 15 at Baltimore

Lamar Jackson and Rodgers play the quarterback position very differently, but both are among the best players at their position in the entire NFL. Jackson and the Baltimore offense will present a stern challenge to Green Bay’s defense at home in Week 15.

This game isn’t necessarily a must-win for Green Bay assuming they’re comfortably in a playoff position by the time this matchup rolls around. The key here for the Packers is to avoid getting embarrassed by the Ravens. That kind of deflating loss at this juncture of the season could do irreparable damage to Green Bay’s emotional health.

The most likely outcome of this high-profile game is to be an entertaining shootout between two very different offenses. The Packers’ offensive line will need to keep Rodgers upright if that type of game is going to materialize. Green Bay fans should keep a close eye on Billy Turner’s grasp of the right tackle position at this late point of the regular season.

This game will be hyped as purely a quarterback duel by the mainstream media, but it’s a much more intriguing affair at other spots on the depth chart. The battle for both lines of scrimmage could easily determine the game’s outcome despite the brilliance of both signal-callers.
