The Green Bay Packers are riding high after beating the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving, but they've still got a lot of work ahead of them with the Chicago Bears also going on the road and beating the Philadelphia Eagles on Black Friday.
Two of the Packers' next three games are against the Bears, which will make for a dramatic start to the month of December. But it will also be a huge advantage in the long run for the Packers, who will essentially be playing high-stakes games all throughout the month.
The Packers' next five games are a gauntlet, and there's no way around it.
