Game 11
Baked Fries & Homemade Ketchup
Packers @ Eagles
Pregame
Monday night football in Philly should be a good game. Can the Packers win? Now their backs are to the wall and probably have to win the remaining 6 games to make the playoffs. They'll have to do without their two starting linebackers but they will get back Damarius Randall. Look for Clay Matthews to probably get some snaps inside. Philly is a tough place to play and Carson Wentz has played great most of his rookie seasons far.

Game Recap
Packers win 27-13!!
The skid has finally halted. The Pack came to play and maintained their intensity for the full 60 minutes. They had long time consuming drives that put them up by 11 minutes in time of possession. Aaron Rodgers was terrific, they ran the ball when they had too but the receivers were the stars of the game, making great catches with only a few drops. The defense did get an interception but just played average. But average is all they need to play when the offense is clicking.
Hopefully they can recreate this model for the last 5 games and sneak into the playoffs where anything can happen. Back home this coming weekend against the Texans and it is already predicted to be about 34 degrees at game time.
Until next week, be well
