The Packers need to keep Cardinals LB Daryl Washington as far from Aaron Rodgers as possible on Sunday
The Arizona Cardinals visit Lambeau Field this week in desperate need of a win, having lost their last four games after starting 4-0. The Green Bay Packers have won three straight and want to head into their much needed bye week at 6-3. Let’s jump into the key matchups that will determine the fate of this week’s game.
Offensive Lines vs. Pass Rush
Both Green Bay and Arizona head into this game in 1st and 2nd place, respectively, in QB sacks. Each is also surrendering more than any team. Many have already dubbed this game a “sack fest”. Of course, games aren’t played on paper as we saw last week in the Packers/Jaguars game.

Rodgers finally letting his words flow
GREEN BAY, Wis.-In one of this seasons most memorable postgame interviews, Shhhhh is what Aaron Rodgers recently hissed when asked if a 42-24 rout of previously unbeaten Houston had quieted Green Bays critics.
Quite the understatement from a player who has become one of the NFLs biggest chatterboxes.

This win for the Packers is more proof that their slow start to the season is nothing to worry about and they are back in the running for the Super Bowl. On the other side, this loss for the Cardinals also proved something about their fast start to the season, it was a fluke. After starting the season 4-0, the Cardinals have since lost five straight games and are no longer in...
