The Green Bay Packers and defending Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams face off in a “Monday Night Football” matchup at Lambeau Field. The Rams are 4-9 and third in the NFC West, while the Packers are 5-8 and third in their respective divisions, the NFC North.
Neither team lived up to its preseason expectations, and while neither has yet been eliminated from the playoffs, it seems only a matter of time until they do.
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the Packers are the favorites going into the night, with Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford starting with a neck injury. Baker Mayfield, who chose Los Angeles before Thursday night’s game last week, will be their offensive leader tonight.
Last week, Mayfield came back and put on a clinic to win in heroic fashion against the Raiders. I don’t know if Mayfield has another one of those games, and Lambeau isn’t an easy place to play, but I’ll be interested to see how a little more time helps the former No. 1 pick adjust. I’m also keeping a close eye on Rodgers, who hasn’t exactly executed his offense this season and has struggled with some injuries of late.
