The 2017 NFL schedule was released last month, and the Green Bay Packers have a tough road ahead of them as they try to return to the playoffs. These are the 5 toughest games the Packers will play this coming season:
5) at Carolina Panthers (Week 15)
Aaron Rodgers will expose any and all weaknesses in Carolina's young, unproven secondary, but Cam Newton and the Panthers' offense are very capable of keeping up with Green Bay on the scoreboard. This late-season game could have major implications on playoff seeding.
4) Seattle Seahawks (Week 1)
These two teams have engaged in several tough contests over the past few years, and this will be another great game - especially in the season opener. Seattle's struggles on the road last year should give the Packers an advantage in this one.
3) at Pittsburgh Steelers (Week 12)
Both the Packers and Steelers were one win away from going to the Super Bowl, but now they'll square off in one of the most intriguing Sunday night games of the season. This game certainly has plenty of star power.
2) at Atlanta Falcons (Week 6)
Atlanta ended Green Bay's spectacular run over the second half of the season by beating them in the NFC Championship Game, and you know the Packers would love nothing more than to get some measure of revenge.
1) at Dallas Cowboys (Week 5)
This rematch of last year's divisional round playoff game has all the makings of one of the best games of the year. Their playoff game was an instant classic, and both teams only got stronger this offseason. Expect this game to come down the final possession.
