The last time the Packers played the Broncos, only one team was undefeated. In week 4 of the 2011 season, the Packers were 3-0 on their way to a 13-0 start and a 15-1 season, while the Broncos had begun 1-2 under Kyle Orton before switching to Tim Tebow and sneaking into the playoffs.
This year, the two teams will meet in six days, with both squads having yet to lose a game this season. Furthermore, both are coming off a bye week, which helped each team's preparation for the other.
While the packers will undoubtedly hope to stay unbeaten on Sunday Night, the more important thing is continuing to improve and get healthy as they make a push for home field advantage in the playoffs with a strong second half.
