Green Bay Packers could end The Kansas City Chiefs’ dynasty

During the 2023 NFL season, the Green Bay Packers emerged as one of the most unexpected teams. The squad finished 7-3 in the last ten games of the regular season as Jordan Love and the offence suddenly clicked after the team’s 2-5 start. They also proceeded to upset the Dallas Cowboys in the wild card round and came dangerously close to defeating the San Francisco 49ers, the eventual NFC Champions, in the divisional round.

Undoubtedly, Green Bay dropped a number of games that they ought to have won against clubs with stronger rosters than their own. Three very awful losses stand out in particular: the ones against the New York Giants, Las Vegas Raiders, and Denver Broncos.

But they also triumphed over teams regarded as some of the finest in the NFL and played incredibly well. The best victories of the season might be those obtained against the Detroit Lions and Kansas City Chiefs in back-to-back weeks (as well as with little rest on Thanksgiving).

In fact, the Packers’ return to the postseason in their first campaign without Aaron Rodgers proved to everyone that their “rebuild” year was really more of a “retooling” season. One NFL observer thinks they are one of just two teams capable of defeating the Chiefs in the playoffs or Super Bowl the following season because of their incredible amount of promise.

NFL Analyst: The Chiefs Could Be Overtaken by the Green Bay Packers

Over the course of his ten-year professional career, Willie Colon, an offensive lineman in the NFL, played for both the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New York Jets. With the Steelers, he won Super Bowl XLIII, but the Packers defeated him in Super Bowl XLV. Colon has covered the Jets for SNYTV and the NFL for The Carton Show since retirement.

Colon was asked on Tuesday which club, if given the chance, he believed could defeat the Chiefs “today.” He answered,

“I will be frank: Green Bay.”

Colon merely spent time explaining why he thought Houston could defeat the Chiefs; he really mentioned the Houston Texans and the Packers as the two teams he feels could defeat them. Still, it is impressive that the Packers are being acknowledged as one of the best teams in the NFL this early in the offseason.
