The Green Bay Packers are officially the Undertaker meme.
It works no matter what Undertaker meme you’re thinking of: Either the Packers have risen from their playoff coffin, or they’re the boogeyman lingering in the shadowy background of the NFC playoff picture.
Sunday’s come-from-behind win over the Miami Dolphins legitimized the Packers’ push back into postseason contention, and you can bet a few teams in the NFC won’t be too excited if Aaron Rodgers and the Packers find a way to sneak into the playoffs as the No. 7 on the back of five-straight wins.
The biggest step to date was accomplished in Miami on Sunday. The Packers overcame a 20-10 deficit by forcing four takeaways and allowing zero second-half points to the Dolphins, who have now lost four straight games. Matt LaFleur’s team, meanwhile, is suddenly riding a three-game win streak.
Here’s what went right, what went wrong, what it means and what’s next coming out of the Packers’ 26-20 win over the Dolphins.
