The Green Bay Packers are 8-2 coming out of the bye week and beginning preparations for Sunday night’s showdown with the San Francisco 49ers, which will start a crucial six-game stretch to finish the 2019 season
Here are five important players to watch over the final six games:
DL Kenny Clark
Clark doesn’t have flashy stats in 2019, but he went into the bye week with a dominant individual performance against the Carolina Panthers in which he produced a career-high 10 pressures. Don’t be surprised if Clark resumes his status as an every-game difference-maker over the final six games. He had a week off to rest his lingering injuries, and defensive coordinator Mike Pettine had a week to figure out ways to get him more one-on-one opportunities. All the coaches agree: Clark is still playing a high level. In most cases, playing at a high level over an extended period of time eventually manifests itself in the box score. Clark is primed for a big finish to 2019.
