In Professional sports, having the ability to control your future is all you could ever ask for. Leading your division, being a top 4 seed in the conference, and a chance to play for even better standing on national television Monday Night sounds even better. For the Green Bay Packers going into week 10, all the above presents itself as true.
If all you knew of the Packers came from social media since this past Sunday’s letdown of a loss to the Carolina Panthers, you’d have thought this season was on the brink of being lost. Yet, this Monday Night the 5-2-1 Packers will host the 6-2 Philadelphia Eagles in a rematch of last years Wild Card Round for a top seed in the NFC. In a week where the NFC’s top 5 seeds are either playing one another (Rams vs 49ers) (Eagles vs Packers), or another top team in the AFC (Patriots vs Buccaneers). Week 10 will provide some real movement and clarity for who is real going forward.
Without a doubt, the microcosms for losing games this year in Green Bay has been worrisome. From forced passes resulting in game-swinging turnovers, to passive play-calling. Overly aggressive play-calling at ill timing, to missed kicks leaving points on the board. Despite all of that, Green Bay sits at 2 losses, atop a yet again competitive NFC North. Of the two, neither loss comes close to the comparison of losing tight end Tucker Kraft. Trade deadline deal for a tight end or not, some players simply cannot be replaced. Kraft is one of them. A captain, and type of personality you simply cannot replicate, or try to recreate.
Green Bay certainly has its hands full trying to make this offense work without a captain, and immense talent in Kraft’s departure. Thankfully, there is an offensive-minded head coach who can scheme up open offensive skilled players endlessly, and a 220-million-dollar quarterback who has proven this year he is ready for the moment. Monday night offers a chance for Green Bay to fall back on the two that can make them so good.
Being tied for the most wins in a Head Coach’s first 3 NFL seasons, Matt LaFleur hears no shortage of scrutiny. In large part, a key reasoning for the frustration this season comes from the lack of trust in Jordan Love. Over the past 6 weeks, 25% of Jordan Love's pass attempts have been behind the line of scrimmage, 2nd highest behind only Kyler Murray. The highest paid player in NFL history at one time, Love has proven you can ride or die with his right arm. An offense stockpiled with talent around him, if Green Bay is going to go anywhere this year, Love is going to be leading the charge. A career 0-3 record vs Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni including the playoffs, Matt LaFleur should see Monday Night as perfect timing.
Coming of a 2024 season where Green Bay would finish 0-6 versus teams that finished the season at least four games over .500, the 2025 Packers do not seem to shy away from the moment of good teams, quite the opposite.
There is firm reason to believe this big home game arrives at the perfect time for a team looking for a get back game. With the term floating around of “Frauds,” Monday Night at Lambeau Field vs the defending Super Bowl Champions serves up the ultimate chance to let the entire NFL and everyone watching, the Packers are the furthest thing from it.
Patriots @ Bucs
Rams @ 49ers
Lions @ Commanders
Eagles @ Packers
It’s moving week in the NFC next week. We’re about to find out a lot about which of these teams have a legit chance to win the conference.

"When I watch the Packers offense, it's almost like this obsession with creation."@danorlovsky7 and @minakimes believe the Green Bay's offense can be more efficient and "take the profit" sometimes 📈 pic.twitter.com/OQa3PDCWzw

Since becoming the starter in 2023
Jordan Love has registered 92 pass plays of 25-plus yards.
That is the most in that span.
