Young Packers ready to show they can handle prosperity after moving into playoff position
Associated PressGREEN BAY, Wis. — The Green Bay Packers suddenly are facing the type of challenge that would have seemed unthinkable just a few weeks ago. The Packers’ 27-19 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night gave them three straight victories, the past two coming against division leaders. “We’re tough, man,” said wide receiver Romeo Doubs, whose 33-yard catch on a fourth-and-1 play set up Green Bay’s last touchdown. Otherwise you are going to get knocked off, because we see it every week.” WHAT’S WORKING A team that failed to score a first-half touchdown in five straight games earlier this season suddenly has gained a penchant for fast starts. That’s the Packers’ longest streak of consecutive 375-yard games within a single season since 2013, when they also did it in five straight games.
