How the Packers can overcome the loss of star LT David Bakhtiari.
It was all going too well. The Green Bay Packers have won five straight, lead the NFC, and have the opportunity to secure home-field advantage with a victory over the Chicago Bears on Sunday.
Not to mention, the team is coming off its most complete performance of the year and seemed to be getting healthier ahead of the playoffs.
Then, in the final hours of 2020 (or for me in the UK, the opening minutes of 2021), NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that Packers star left tackle David Bakhtiari is out for the rest of the season due to a torn ACL.
