The Green Bay Packers get to put their revamped team and coaching staff on display next season after a very successful offseason, however, it won't be easy for them. The Packers are said to have one of the toughest schedules heading into the 2019 season, according to NFL Network's Gregg Rosenthal.
“I could have listed the entire NFC North here. It's a balanced division, and the matchups against the AFC West teams look tough, especially with Green Bay visiting Kansas City and Los Angeles in consecutive weeks. The Packers get the nod here over their division rivals because they close with two road games, including the always-irritating final Monday Night Football game before the holidays (in Minnesota), creating a short week before finishing the regular season in Detroit.”
The Packers playing both the Chiefs and Chargers is already tough enough, but playing them in back to back weeks is just bad luck. In addition to their tough AFC West matchups, the Packers face off against their strong division rival Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears two games apiece.
Although the Packers once used to dominate the NFC North, the Chicago Bears shocked everyone last season and did all the dominating in the division with their number one defense. Green Bay has a solid defense to look forward to unleashing next season as well, adding three big-time players and keeping their defensive coordinator Mike Pettine.
Green Bay might have a tough schedule, but they will be a tough team to beat as well for opposing teams.
