Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers looked like they were playing for 2023 after a Nov. 27 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles dropped the Packers to 4-8.
There was talk that Green Bay should bench Rodgers and play Jordan Love for the remainder of the season.
On the same day the Packers fell to the Eagles, the Washington Commanders defeated the Atlanta Falcons to move to 7-5. The Commanders looked like a shoo-in for an NFC playoff bid.
Now, one month later, the Packers have won three in a row and are 7-8, while the Commanders have lost two and tied one in their last three games.
