The Green Bay Packers (3-5) are coming off a much-needed win against the Los Angeles Rams (3-6) and now their reward is a road matchup against the never-say-die Pittsburgh Steelers (5-3).
Both offenses are lackluster, to say the least, and each unit has its own set of problems. The defenses, on the other hand, are pretty stout and can typically keep opponents in check. Even with Packers defensive coordinator Joe Barry making weird decisions/creating weird matchups at times.
Will you be able to watch the game on TV? If you live in the blue areas on the map below you'll get this game on your local CBS channels, according to 506sports.com:
Packers-Steelers (blue) is competing with two other games during CBS' 1pm ET slate: Houston Texans vs. Cincinnati Bengals (green) and Tennessee Titans vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (yellow). As you can see, the Packers game will be in the majority of homes thanks to the reach of both fanbases.
The broadcast crew consists of Ian Eagle and Charles Davis, with Evan Washburn reporting from the sidelines. If you don't live in the blue areas, then you won't be able to watch the game on local CBS channels.
But, of course, there are plenty of other ways to watch in today's world. If you have YouTube TV, then there's obviously the Sunday Ticket package that comes with it. There are other streaming sites such as FuboTV, DAZN, and others, as well.
And, if you don't want to deal with any of that – you can always listen to the game on the Packers Radio Network.
Steelers will be a tough test for the Packers
The Packers offense put up 20 points for the first time since the Week 4 debacle against the Detroit Lions, but the unit is still a major work in progress and showed very little signs of improvement against the Rams.
The defense certainly did its job, however, and should be considered the strength of the team, at this point. At the same time, star cornerback Jaire Alexander has missed the last two practices with a shoulder injury. Starting inside linebacker, Quay Walker, sat out last week's game with a groin injury and has also missed the last two practices. Add all that on top of a limited Kenny Clark and it's easy to see why the Packers defense could be shorthanded going into this game.
That obviously wouldn't bode well for the Packers, even if the Steelers offense averages the fourth-fewest points per game at 16.6. There is some serious talent at the skill positions and the offense looked like a better unit after Matt Canada worked from the sidelines in Week 9.
This sounds basic, but it's entirely true: If the Packers can avoid the stupid mistakes that we've seen on a weekly basis, then there is definitely a chance they can win this game. The Steelers might be 5-3, but they don't necessarily play winning football and their -30 point differential speaks to that. The Seattle Seahawks are the only other team in the NFL with a winning record despite having a negative point differential (-4).
Still, Mike Tomlin is a Hall of Fame coach for a reason. Even when the chips are down, he's going to have a good game plan for the upcoming opponent and he's going to have his guys ready to play. No matter the situation, teams always have to take a Tomlin-led Steelers squad seriously.
