Packers Drive Rewind is a new weekly post I hope to do for the rest of the season. That’s the goal, anyway. With the holidays coming up, I might not have time, or I just might forget. You never know.
Anyway, I want to take one key drive from each game and break it down with some film and my own thoughts. I’m not doing this to lecture everyone or prove how much I know about X’s and O’s. I just want to talk football. I did something similar last week.
If you think my observations are off the mark, or you have additional insight to add, please do so in the comments section. We have a lot of very knowledgeable readers on this site and I always enjoy their perspective on some of the more nuanced aspects of the game.
(Note: It’s hard to see numbers on some of the Lions players. My apologies if I mix up a few players.)
Here we go:
The Situation
Fourth quarter. Packers 17, Lions 17. Packers ball on their own 41 with 14:49 to play.
The Result

When the Green Bay Packers take on the Chicago Bears in a key NFC North divisional battle on Sunday, they will apparently still have to do so far less than 100 percent. Not that any team is at full health during Week 15 of the NFL season, but injuries have decimated Green Bay this season.
