Plays on Monday Night Football vs. Green Bay Packers

Baker Mayfield had an incredible debut against the Las Vegas Raiders last Thursday night and now he’s back on prime time for the Los Angeles Rams. This time, he’s going against the Green Bay Packers and will be playing on the frozen tundra.

Neither team has been good this season with the Packers’ record of 5-8 being superior to the 4-9 Rams. No one expected this when the schedule came out as a game that was supposed to have a big impact on the playoffs might now be skipped by those wanting a little more sleep.

There can’t be any Indianapolis Colts fans that want to see this Jeff Saturday tenure continue. The hire was terrible to begin with and despite a lucky win over the Raiders, there’s been nothing positive to take away from this five-game stretch.

And as bad as their 54-19 loss to Dallas was in their last outing, they were embarrassed more this Saturday as they were on the wrong side of the largest comeback in NFL history. A 33-0 lead at the half over Minnesota wasn’t enough as the Vikings stormed back and won 39-36 in overtime.

What’s even worse is the refs botched two plays that took defensive touchdowns away from the Vikings, so it shouldn’t have even been an overtime loss, but rather a defeat in regulation.
