As the NFL enters week nine, we are officially halfway through the 2025 NFL season. The Packers are 5-1-1, leading both the NFC North and the NFC itself. If the playoffs started today, they’d have a week off to heal up and collect themselves: a crucial advantage considering how early Green Bay’s bye week fell on the schedule.
But the playoffs don’t start today, and there’s a whole lot of football between now and then.
Now, for as well as the Packers have played, there are still some cracks showing through the veneer. The Packers’ offense has been a rocky, up and down unit so far through seven games, lurching from the offensive explosion in Dallas to the stonewalled effort in Cleveland.
