The Cleveland Browns and the Green Bay Packers are playing on Sunday afternoon in Lambeau Field and the Packers are already on the board after a Jermichael Finley touchdown and an Eddie Lacy score and the team is wearing some strange throwback uniforms and the game is being broadcast on CBS at 4:25 as one of the later afternoon games on the NFL schedule.
The team is coming into the game on a two win streak and they are hoping to extend it with important division games coming up and with the Detroit Lions and the Chicago Bears losing this Week against the Bengals in overtime and against the Washington Redskins, meaning the Packers could continue to climb. The team already defeated the Lions two weeks ago and after starting the season 1-2, they could go on a run despite dealing with some tough injuries to players like Randall Cobb and James Jones. Cobb will be out for at least 10 weeks on the new injured reserve and that means Jordy Nelson will be asked to step up on offense for the Packers.
