NFL Week 8 is here! A powerhouse Thursday night matchup between Aaron Rodgers (Green Bay Packers) and Kyler Murray (Arizona Cardinals) will be the highlight of the week.
Since opening the season, the Packers have won six straight games after a 38-3 defeat to the New Orleans Saints in Jacksonville. The Cards hold the distinction of being the only undefeated NFL team.
Green Bay has historically dominated the series, but Arizona has won all three meetings between them. If excitement is your thing, then you should know that the last two games between the teams (including the postseason) have been played in overtime.
Will Rodgers be able, despite not playing with his favorite target WR Davante Adam (COVID-19/reservelist), to outperform one the NFL's most formidable defenses this season. Or will Murray and his Red Sea rivals continue to rise and threaten the 1972 Miami Dolphins' perfect year?
We're playing a game. The Packers did not wait until the second quarter (12.54) to tie the score. This was thanks to an outstanding effort by running back Aaron Jones who ran for 2-yards in the middle to score the touchdown.
Arizona will play the Wildcat for their first score of the evening, which happens to also be Chase Edmonds first touchdown of the season.
This touchdown came on the heels of a massive DeAndre Hopkins play -- his touchdown of 61 yards was nullified by an face mask penalty (15 yard), but his defensive back game and ability to get wide open was impressive nonetheless.
DHop is, as the title suggests, different.
