The Green Bay Packers are getting ready for their biggest game of the season this weekend when they take on the Philadelphia Eagles. Green Bay (11-6) ended the year on a two game losing streak, while Philadelphia ended the season 4-1.
One thing is for certain, however, both teams have the confidence to win this game. That was made clear with Xavier McKinney’s recent comments.
