The Green Bay Packers and the defending Super Bowl champions Los Angeles Rams face off on Monday Night Football at Lambeau Field. The Rams are 4-9 and third in the NFC West, while the Packers are 5-8 and also third in their own division, the NFC North.
Neither team has lived up to its pre-season expectations, and while neither team has been eliminated from the playoffs yet, it appears it is only a matter of time until they are.
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the Packers are the favorites before nightfall, with Rams starting quarterback Matthew Stafford on injured reserve due to a neck injury. Baker Mayfield, who was picked up by Los Angeles just before their Thursday night game last week, will be their offensive captain tonight.
Last week, Mayfield put in a clinic to come back and win in heroic fashion against the Raiders. I’m not sure if Mayfield had another of those games, and Lambeau wasn’t the easiest place to play, but I’m interested to see how spending more time with the offense has helped the former first baseman adapt. I will be keeping a close eye on Rodgers, who has not blended well with his offense this season and has struggled with some injuries lately.
