Following a strong victory over the Chiefs, the Packers have won four of their previous five games.
At 6-6, the Packers face the No. 7 seed in the NFC playoffs. My initial takeaways from the press box following the Packers' impressive performance:
The Packers offense stepped up when it was needed in the second half. After failing to convert a field goal before halftime and the Chiefs scoring early in the third quarter, Green Bay scored.
Following a fourth-quarter Kansas City punt, the Packers kicked a field goal to go up five points, then ran out of time on their last drive and kicked another to go up eight.
The defense battled, as usual, but produced two key stops in the fourth quarter.
Forced Kansas City to punt, which resulted in a field goal for the Packers to go up five. On the next play, Keisean Nixon made a fantastic intercept.
The Packers won the turnover battle 1-0 and the game.The Chiefs are sixth in blitz rate entering this game.
However, the Packers' offensive line has fared well against a strong pass rush this season.
When the Packers were behind the sticks, the Chiefs' pass rush and pressure packages made things difficult.
