There is no denying that the Green Bay Packers have a tough test in Week 15.
Although Jordan Love and company are riding a wave of momentum, thanks to a four-game winning streak, they are not the hottest team that will take the field this coming Sunday at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver, as they are about to face the Denver Broncos, who have won all of their last 10 outings.
Aside from the solid play under center of second-year quarterback Bo Nix, what makes Denver so dangerous is its stingy defense.
Packers to face tough Denver D in Week 15
Green Bay head coach Matt LaFleur will be among the first to tell anyone how incredible the job the Broncos are doing on that side of the field.
“That’s a hell of a question,” LaFleur said when asked how he plans to attack the Broncos’ stout stop unit (via Luca Evans of The Denver Post).
“I think everybody’s trying to figure that out right now. They do a great job. [Vance Joseph] does a hell of a job putting his guys in position. And there’s not really a weak link out there, when you look at their front, their ‘backers, their back end. You’ve got players across the board. I mean, the sack numbers are pretty crazy. Their run defense is pretty crazy. So you couple that, then you’ve got a legitimate shutdown corner. I think the safeties are excellent.”
So far in the 2025 NFL season, the Broncos are fourth in the league with just 18.1 points allowed per game and third with 282.0 total yards surrendered per outing.
But Green Bay’s offense isn’t too shabby either, as the Packers are producing 24.9 points per contest and are second in the NFL overall with a 68.09 percent touchdown rate when they’re in the red zone. Moreover, they are No. 1 with a 50.2 percent success rate on third downs.
