The Green Bay Packers are 5-3-1 on the season, but have unfortunately lost each of their last two games, both at home. After being embarrassed by the Carolina Panthers in Week Nine, Green Bay’s defense put on a masterclass against the Philadelphia Eagles while the offense continued to struggle, only able to muster seven points in what was a 10-7 loss.
Things are certainly not perfect in Green Bay right now, and the offense especially has some glaring holes they need to fix if they are going to right the ship. Fortunately, their next game is against the New York Giants, who are 2-8 and have just fired their head coach.
Additionally, they may have a new starting quarterback in Week 11.
The New York Giants will start Jameis Winston vs the Green Bay Packers

Going into the 2025 NFL season, the Giants had Russell Wilson as their starting quarterback, and first-round pick Jaxson Dart as the backup. It did not take long, though, for there to be a change, with Dart taking over and Wilson being benched.
Last week, though, Dart was taken out of the Giants’ loss to the Chicago Bears due to a concussion. It was the fourth time this year, already, that he has had to undergo the NFL’s concussion protocol. Due to this, he is not expected to play against the Packers in Week 11.
Neither will Wilson, who played so poorly in relief of Dart on Sunday that the Giants are demoting him to their third string quarterback and elevating long-time veteran Jameis Winston:

One of the more colorful personalities in the NFL, Winston has not played yet this season, but played 12 games last year (seven starts) for the Cleveland Browns. He completed 61.1% of his passes for 2,121 yards, 13 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions to go with an 80.6 passer rating.
