The Green Bay Packers, for a half, rediscovered their dominant offense in their win over the Chicago Bears last week.
Now, physically wounded, strategically flexible and 4-2, the Packers may need that offense in droves against the No. 1 offense in football, the Atlanta Falcons.
Green Bay realizes that as much as they need their offense to score, they also need it to possess the football - so that Atlanta can't.
The Falcons have put up more than 32 points per game, the best in football. They've had 500-yard passing days from quarterback Matt Ryan and 300 yard receiving days from wide receiver Julio Jones.
That weaponry stares the Packers' injury-decimated secondary in the face. Ladarius Gunter against Jones? That matchup sounds incredibly scary.
The Packers deserve to rise to 5-2 and a standing among the elite teams if they go into Atlanta and beat a dangerous Falcons team.
This game will test how well Mike McCarthy and his coaching staff can adjust to adversity with scheme, as well as with getting players to be next-man-up.
Stay tuned.
