The Green Bay Packers are old enough and decorated enough that when you say an upcoming week is “historic,” you have to really mean it. And this week, I mean it.
There are two notable events for the Packers that are occurring/may occur this weekend.
Let’s start with the guaranteed one first: the Packers are playing their first ever regular season game overseas as the NFL’s final club to appear in the London series, which has existed since the 2007 season. Their opponent is another one of the NFL’s oldest franchises, the New York Giants, which debuted the London series that year against the Miami Dolphins.
