Packers will have their hands full with Jordan Reed

Green Bay — Over the past six games, the Green Bay Packers have covered tight ends better than at any other time this season, but they haven't faced Washington's Jordan Reed during that span.

If the Packers can cover Reed as well as they covered Minnesota's Kyle Rudolph, Arizona's Jermaine Gresham, Oakland's Mychal Rivera, Dallas' Jason Witten, Detroit's Eric Ebron and Chicago's Zach Miller then they're going to be in a pretty good position defensively.

But Reed ranks up there with the best the Packers have faced this season — Carolina's Greg Olsen, Kansas City's Travis Kelce, Seattle's Jimmy Graham and San Diego's Antonio Gates — and given the speed Washington has elsewhere, the Packers are not going to be able to double-team him every down.
