Green Bay Packers TIME TO PANIC After NO SHOW LOSS as Michael Penix SAVES Atlanta Falcons Season
Locked On NFL – Daily Podcast On The National Football LeagueShow Notes
The Green Bay Packers got a stunning win last week, but it seemed to just cover up the real stench of this team. It is time to panic for the Packers as their issues don't look like they are going away anytime soon after a shocking loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Michael Penix returned and led the Falcons to a season-saving road upset. Penix distributed to the Falcons offensive talent, but the defensive success may have been boosted by the struggles of the Pack. High-stakes matchups are all over the NFL Week 3 schedule and that starts with two of the final four from last postseason as the Denver Broncos host the Los Angeles Rams. There are multiple must-win games in the league this week too including the Los Angeles Chargers facing the Buffalo Bills. Separation will start this Sunday as well with games like the Cincinnati Bengals taking on the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Arizona Cardinals playing the San Francisco 49ers.

The Chicago Bears and New England Patriots got things on track in recent weeks as both are coming off a win, but neither team has had a perfect season. Now they will face off with not only team goals in mind, but a chance to see who is ahead in the race to be the top quarterback of the 2024 NFL Draft class.

The San Francisco 49ers moved to 6-0 on the season after their win on Monday Night Football and with the closest competitor at 3-3 in the NFC West, Brock Purdy's crew has somewhat shut the door on the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams. In the AFC West, the Kansas City Chiefs remain undefeated off a bye and have a great shot to keep their momentum rolling. In the NFC North, the Minnesota Vikings come off a bye also still undefeated, but with the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears surging, the Vikings lead isn't safe. Finally, in the AFC North, the surprise Cleveland Browns lead the division, but with everyone sitting with only two losses, the lead is far from safe.
