The Green Bay Packers are on the rise.
After making the playoffs with Jordan Love taking over as the full-time starter in place of Aaron Rodgers, the team has their eyes set on a big run in 2024.
With the talent that this team has on both sides of the ball, they are very hard to prepare for.
It is why former Super Bowl champion Plaxico Burress believes this team is a sleeper going into 2024.
“They are the sleeper in the NFC,” Burress recently said on “The Carton Show.”
It wasn’t looking so good after the first few months of the season.
This team was sitting at 3-6 and trying to find their way along as the youngest team in football.
Then, they started to go on a run.
After finding a way to beat good teams in the Kansas City Chiefs, the Detroit Lions, the Los Angeles Rams, and the Dallas Cowboys in the playoffs, this team ended up being a quarter away from going to the NFC Championship Game.
Jordan Love threw the 2nd-most touchdowns in the league last season (32) and really grew in his confidence.
Those years sitting and learning behind the legendary Aaron Rodgers certainly look like they may have paid off big-time.
Head coach Matt LaFleur should’ve probably won NFL Coach of the Year, but the league should already know that he is one of the better coaches in football.
Green Bay has made the playoffs in four of his five seasons coaching the team, and he now has even more pieces added to the puzzle that can make this team a Super Bowl contender in 2024.
