NFL playoff race: sepia-toned Bears v Packers rivalry takes center stage
"What Green Bay need to do to win Dominate time of possession. The longer Green Bay keep the ball on offense the better as they try to adjust to the chunky hole left in their pass rush now Parsons has landed on injured reserve. Confidence should remain high that quarterback Jordan Love and company, with as much ball as possible, will keep running up the scoreboard to cover any slack from the defense despite the slip against Denver last week."
"Love showed some familiar struggles in throwing two interceptions. The picks should be credited to the Broncos pressuring him at a career-high rate of 52% though rather than a regression in Love's play. The season taken as a whole has been brilliant, in particular his deep passing to Christian Watson who handily did not pick up a serious injury at Mile High."
Late-season matchups shape postseason hopes with pivotal games like Jacksonville v Denver, Baltimore v New England, Pittsburgh v Detroit, and Bears v Packers. Chicago or Green Bay can clinch or secure playoff positioning depending on results and Detroit's outcome. Micah Parsons' injury creates a significant gap in Green Bay's pass rush, increasing the need to dominate time of possession. Jordan Love should sustain confidence as he generates explosive plays, despite two interceptions under heavy pressure. Christian Watson avoided major injury. Green Bay's offensive balance, featuring Josh Jacobs' recent rushing success against Chicago's inconsistent run defense, favors the Packers.
