The Packers righted the ship last week, at least for a few days. An overtime win over the Cowboys breathed life into a team that hadn’t won in six weeks, prompting the question: Are the Packers back?
Their matchup Thursday with the Titans might give us the answer. Tennessee’s defense has had a terrific year, even with some recent injuries to key players. The Titans followed up a relentless performance against the Chiefs with a shutdown of the Broncos, pushing the team to 6-3 despite one of the league’s lowest-rated offenses.
While Aaron Rodgers hasn’t been Aaron Rodgers this season, the Titans going into Lambeau Field and stifling the Packers would be a sign that Mike Vrabel’s team shouldn’t be overlooked in the AFC.

A Packers win, on the other hand, would put Green Bay firmly back in playoff contention and officially put a pause on any obituaries being written about Rodgers’ career.
The biggest storyline for the Packers might be the emergence of rookie wide receiver Christian Watson. He helped spark the comeback that might have saved Green Bay’s season with 107 receiving yards and three touchdowns in the win over Dallas. If he puts up another big performance, the Packers might have something special.
