GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Now comes the hard part.
This time, Aaron Rodgers thinks the Green Bay Packers can handle it.
With the five-game midseason losing streak well behind them and with two straight wins to lift their spirits, Rodgers and coach Matt LaFleur said after Monday night's 24-12 win over the Los Angeles Rams at Lambeau Field that a sense of belief has begun to grow.
A team that was all but out of it after falling to 4-8 in late November suddenly looks like one that could actually win its last five and sneak into the playoffs.
