1. Green Bay Packers

Frustration seems like the best way to describe how the Packers are feeling at the moment when considering all of the excitement surrounding Aaron Rodgers finally being healthy, only to see their star quarterback suffer a leg injury opening weekend. The fact that Rodgers has been able to play the last two weeks has been absolutely amazing, but also it would have been great to see Green Bay end up with a few wins out of it.

Sitting with a 1-1-1 record heading into Sunday’s game against the Bills puts even more pressure on the Packers to come through with the win since another loss would only dig a deeper hole in what is turning out to be a very competitive NFC North division. A few weeks ago, a loss at home to Buffalo basically seemed impossible, but if it can happen to Minnesota, it can very well happen to Green Bay as well.

Plus, the argument can be made that the Vikings are in much better shape than the Packers from a health perspective at the moment, and the Bills would love nothing more than to take advantage of the situation. Heading into October with only one win would be tough for Green Bay to deal with, and it will be interesting to see how they handle the pressure of doing everything in their power to avoid being on the losing end in this matchup.
