NFL Week 6, 2018: 5 Teams on upset alert
By Dan Parzych
2. Green Bay Packers
With all due respect to the Green Bay Packers, this looks like a team that is always going to seem like they’re on upset alert each week, mainly due to all of the injuries the team has been dealing with. The fact that Aaron Rodgers is still able to move around the way he does when that leg injury looked devastating back in Week 1 was truly amazing, but also this doesn’t mean the Packers are still in great shape.
If anything, Rodgers and company still have plenty of work to do over the next couple of weeks since the NFC North is turning out to be one of the most competitive divisions in the NFL with the Vikings and Chicago Bears. Up next, Green Bay will take on a San Francisco 49ers team that is still trying to adjust to playing without Jimmy Garoppolo after the quarterback suffered a torn ACL a few weeks ago, which is why this game has trap written all over it.
C.J. Beathard is the kind of quarterback that has nothing to lose this season since he normally would be on the bench if Garoppolo were healthy enough to play. And who knows, with a few impressive performances, whether it happens to be against the Packers or other teams, maybe it will help Beathard’s draft stock in the future if San Francisco were to ever take the option into consideration.
