The NFL schedule is relentless, and that’s never more obvious than on weeks where your team plays on Thursday night.
The afterglow of the Packers’ comeback win over the Saints has barely worn off and kickoff for their Week 4 game is only a little more than 48 hours away.
And for the players, it’s even worse. The Packers are banged up enough as it is, to say nothing of how a short turnaround affects the availability of their key players.
If there’s any comfort, small though it may be, it’s that the Lions are in the same boat. The NFL’s rapacious hunger for eyeballs and attention puts the same strain on the Packers’ opponent, who are dealing with their own raft of injuries ahead of Week 4.
But the schedule waits for no man. Best to tape an aspirin to your various aches and pains and remind yourself that this is just the first of two Thursday games the Packers will play this year.
