Only two teams in NFL history have faced the misery that the and will both face in Week 9.The latest from SportsLineIf you've lost track of the NFL schedule: The Colts will be hosting the 7-0 Broncos this week, while the Packers will travel to Carolina for a game against the 7-0 Panthers.So why's Michael Grabner Men Jersey that notable?It's notable because both the Colts and Packers will be playing a team that's 6-0 or better for the second straight week, something that almost never happens in the Glenn Anderson Women Jersey NFL. Packers will be 3rd team in history to play teams 6-0 or better in consecutive games (1934 DET & 2004 PIT) Randall Liu (@RLiuNFL) As a matter of fact, only two teams in history have gone through what the Colts and Packers are currently going through. In 1934, the Detroit Lions played the 11-0 Bears and then had to turn around and play the 12-0 Bears the next week.The Bears stayed undefeated by winning the first game 19-16. A week later, the Bears beat the Lions by three points again, 10-7.The only other time an NFL team faced two undefeated teams in a row this late in the season came in 2004 when the Steelers played the 6-0 Patriots and 7-0 Eagles in consecutive weeks.Things went better for the Steelers than they did Adam Graves Jersey for the Lions as the Steelers handed both teams their first lo s. Pittsburgh beat New England 34-20, then followed that up a week later with a 27-3 win over Philadelphia. And that's your entire history of NFL teams playing an undefeated team this late in the season two weeks in a row. The Packers and Colts could both use a win New York Rangers Kids Jersey on Sunday.If Indianapolis loses to Denver, the sky could fall in Indy over the Colts' bye week. A lo s would drop the Colts to 3-6 and at that point, it wouldn't be all that surprising to see heads roll. The team has already fired . On the Packers end, a lo s to Carolina could wrap up the No. 1 seed for the Panthers. If Green Bay loses, then Carolina will have a two-game James Patrick Women Jersey lead for the NFC's top seed, plus the Panthers would hold the head-to-head tiebreaker, which means Carolina would basically have a three-game lead with only eight games left. |
