The Green Bay Packers can add another signature win to their resume with a victory over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 15.
Sunday will be a matchup of two of the most battered teams in the league, who have overcome incredible injuries to be in the hunt for the No. 1 seed in the playoffs. This week, injuries are once again a problem for both teams.
Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is in jeopardy of missing his first game of the season with an ankle injury that kept him out of practice this week. Meanwhile, the Packers placed defensive tackle Kenny Clark on the COVID-19 reserve list. He would need a negative test to suit up on Sunday.
Clark has been the most important player on Green Bay’s defense this season, while Jackson is the driving force behind Baltimore’s offense. If Tyler Huntley has to replace Jackson for the second week in a row, it will be interesting to see how their offense performs. Pounding the football in the run game would be a lot easier if Clark is not in the lineup.
Sunday could be a Super Bowl preview if the Packers can get over the NFC Championship hump and the Ravens can overcome their injuries and persevere through an extremely wide-open AFC.
Time will tell which team is the class of their respective conference, but as we head into the weekend, let’s highlight four key matchups that could help decide the outcome of this week’s game.
