Follow Us
Aaron Rodgers has regained some control over his horrible form this season. The Packers QB led the franchise’s first win in six weeks against the in-form Dallas Cowboys. However, Rodgers is more concerned about the task at hand; beating the AFC South Division leaders, Tennessee Titans.
A-Rod saw some glimpses of an organized Packers offense against the Dallas Cowboys. Green Bay beat the Cowboys 31-28 in an overtime thriller at Lambeau Field. However, the Packers’ defense allowed Dallas to score multiple times, and that is not something they can afford against Derrick Henry’s Titans.

Things won’t likely be so smooth against the Tennessee defense. Former linebacker and head coach Mike Vrabel joined the Titans in 2018 and turned them into one of the NFL’s most dreaded defenses. Tennessee held Russell Wilson‘s Denver Broncos to 10 points in their last game. The Titans have held opposing offenses to 10 points in 3 of their last 4 games.

There’s not a lot of big holes out there,” the 2011 Super Bowl MVP said.
