Aaron Rodgers and the Packers look determined to secure the top seed in the NFC. The Packers, behind a near-perfect first half from Green Bay at Lambeau Field on Saturday night, cruised past the Carolina Panthers, 24-16, to grab their fourth straight win — which keeps them in the driver’s seat to claim the lone playoff bye.

Home-field advantage in the NFL is dead, at least for 2020. Maybe it returns when fans come back, but it doesn’t exist now. Going into Monday night’s game, road teams were 103-103-1. Home field has been dwindling for a while, and it was erased during the pandemic. Yet, it seems like there’s still one home-field advantage remaining. Ask the rest of the NFC if they want to go play at Lambeau Field in January. A lack of fans won’t change the weather. The Green Bay Packers had a huge Week… Source link

Thursday’s rematch with the Green Bay Packers will look very different. An injury-ravaged season in San Francisco got worse in Week 8 as the 49ers added quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and All-Pro tight end George Kittle to their long-term injury list.
