The Philadelphia Eagles (7-2) will travel to Lambeau Field for Sunday's matchup with the Green Bay Packers (6-3) in a contest that has strong playoff implications for both teams. Considering the Arizona Cardinals square off against the Detroit Lions—and the Cardinals will be without their veteran quarterback, Carson Palmer—home-field advantage is still accessible for Philadelphia with a win against the Packers.
But it won't be easy, considering this team has never beaten Aaron Rodgers. Last year's 27-13 win over Green Bay came with Rodgers sidelined and backup Scott Tolzien forced to start.
Winning this one will mean keeping pace with a high-powered Green Bay offense that ranks fifth in the NFL in points scored. That means Mark Sanchez needs to play another game of turnover-free football, LeSean McCoy needs to rush the football as he's capable of doing and the defense needs to pressure Rodgers as it did to Cam Newton a week ago.
Stay tuned for live updates, with game time set to begin at 4:25 p.m. ET.
