GREEN BAY — For a team with an 11-3 record and an NFC playoff berth secured, the Green Bay Packers woke up Sunday morning with a lengthy post-Christmas wish list.
As good as the Packers have been during coach Matt LaFleur's second season, they still had a few questions that demanded answers going into their 15th game, a nationally televised showdown at Lambeau Field Sunday night against the 10-win Tennessee Titans.
For starters, the Packers needed to play a 60-minute game, a wire-to-wire domination of an opponent with no let-up. No less than an authority than quarterback Aaron Rodgers acknowledged the Packers needed to learn to bury opponents after they squandered most of a 21-3 lead before holding off Carolina down the stretch one week earlier.
