The Green Bay Packers notched their seventh straight win on Thursday night as they handed the Arizona Cardinals their first loss of the season, 24-21.

The Packers found an unlikely hero in unknown cornerback Rasul Douglas who made the game-saving interception with 12 seconds left. The win further boosted the moxie of the Pack Attack, particularly defensive end Preston Smith. He didn't mince his words after the game as he took to Twitter to unleash a savage shot at the haters of the Packers.

The Packers had a rocky offseason, with star quarterback Aaron Rodgers mired in trade rumors. The three-time MVP also expressed his displeasure with the team's front office, with some observers even assuming that Rodgers leaving the Packers was already a foregone conclusion.

But it seems all's well that ends well. Rodgers has been on elite level throughout the season, galvanizing the Packers offense with his toughness and composure. He's also gotten ample support from wide receivers Davante Adams and Randall Cobb and running back Aaron Jones.

There's some truth to Preston's bold tweet. It's human nature that those at the top are being pulled down, and that's exactly what the Packers experience year after year. Beating the Cardinals, with MVP frontrunner Kyler Murray, will surely earn them even more haters.

After dropping their first assignment, the Packers have yet to taste defeat again, and they plan to maintain that on November 7 against the struggling Kansas City Chiefs.
