9. Green Bay Packers (Last week: 14)
Beating the Bears was Green Bay’s signature victory to date. They turned what had the making of a shootout in the first half into a one-sided victory in the second, and that says a lot about the ceiling of this team.
The Packers still have their work cut out for them, especially with the Lions surging and Bears lurking. I still put my trust in Aaron Rodgers.
What to know: Aaron Rodgers surpassed the 25,000 passing yards mark in his 98th career game played. He is the fourth-fastest quarterback to reach that milestone.
