Packers entering playoffs the preferred way
Momentum, confidence in strong supply for Green Bay heading into Giants matchup
GREEN BAY – This is how any team would want to be going into the playoffs.Green Bay’s six straight wins were basically a requirement to qualify, but they also established a mentality the Packers will draw upon as their postseason begins on Sunday at Lambeau Field against the Giants.
Last year, the Packers dropped their final two regular-season games, including the NFC North-deciding contest vs. the Vikings, before righting things temporarily in the wild-card round at Washington.
Back in 2012, the Packers saw a first-round bye go out the window at Minnesota in Week 17, and it changed the entire outlook for January.
