Now at 5-1-1 on the season, the Green Bay Packers are one of the more well-rounded teams in the NFL and are trying to break out and hit their stride. While it's not always been pretty this year, the Packers are one of two one-loss teams in the NFL and are winners of three in a row.
The next major event in the NFL is the 2025 trade deadline, which arrives on November 4, immediately following the Week 9 action. The Packers host the Carolina Panthers in Week 9, and it's the start of a two-game homestand.
It's very likely that Green Bay is 6-1-1 in a few days, and that could prompt them to pick up the phones and perhaps display more urgency in fixing a key area of their defense: the secondary.
