With the Green Bay Packers coming off an impressive (and emotional) comeback victory over Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 8 and a date with the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles in Week 10, there was some concern among Cheeseheads that Matt LaFleur & Co. could easily fall victim to the dreaded "trap game" against the Carolina Panthers in Week 9.
And that's precisely how things played out at Lambeau Field this past Sunday, as the Packers saw their three-game winning streak come to an end in a 16-13 defeat. Now, we'll admit that calling this matchup a "trap game" is a bit insulting to the Panthers, as they came into this contest having just one fewer win than Green Bay.
