The Green Bay Packers are the only team in the NFL with an unbeaten record against teams currently possessing a winning record.
After 11 weeks, 31 of the 32 NFL teams have at least one loss against a team with a winning record. The Packers are 4-0, with wins over the Minnesota Vikings, Dallas Cowboys, Oakland Raiders and Kansas City Chiefs.
Matt LaFleur’s team will have a chance to improve to 5-0 with a win over the 9-1 San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night in Santa Clara.
“That matters, that definitely matters. That’s a confidence booster for us,” Rodgers said Wednesday when asked about the experience of beating good teams. “That’s important stuff.”
The 49ers are just 1-1, with a win over the Los Angeles Rams and a loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Eight of San Francisco’s nine wins are against teams with a .500 record or worse.
The Packers, Chiefs (3-3), Baltimore Ravens (3-1) and New Orleans Saints (3-1) are the only teams with three or more wins against teams with a winning record.
Two of the Packers’ wins came on the road.
“We’ve won on the road in tough environments. We won in Dallas, won Kansas City,” Rodgers said. “We’ve gone on the road and taken care of business, so we’ll take that confidence with us. We’ve also had a stinker on the road, so we have to learn from that experience and get out there and get ready to rock and roll.”
