Joe Schiller- Packers, Week 11

I game that really excites me is the Week 11 match-up against the Green Bay Packers. The Ravens have it tough facing the NFC North and this game will be the hardest. A game at Lambeau field in November is never easy. The Ravens lucked out not having to travel late November or early December. Green Bay is a brutal time to play that time a year.

This is going to be a great match-up for the Ravens defense, especially the secondary. Aaron Rodgers is one of the best quarterbacks in the game. He knows how to carve defenses apart as good as any quarterback in the league. With an improved secondary, it will be interesting to see how they match-up with the likes of Jordy Nelson, Damonte Adams and the rest of the Packers receivers. The pass rush will also be an important factor. As good as Rodgers is, he’s had his struggles. If the pass rush can get to him, the defense could have some success.

The last time these two teams met was back in 2013. The Packers edged out the Ravens with a 19-17 win in Baltimore. These are two teams that have a ton of success in recent years and it should be a fun game to watch.
