Next for the Packers - the Saints


Up next for the Green Bay Packers is the New Orleans Saints on Monday night. Both teams enter the game with a record of 5-5 and each will be looking to gain some momentum towards the playoffs.

The Packers are coming off of their 37-3 beat down of the Bears as Ryan Grant powered the Packers with 145 yards rushing and one touchdown. Aaron Rodgers threw for two scores and the Green Bay defense held the Bears offense without a touchdown.

The Saints, who defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 30-20 last Sunday, will be hoping that Reggie Bush will be ready to play. Bush is an explosive player and if he does play, the Packers will have their hands full along with the aerial assault the Saints and quarterback Drew Brees can give to any team.

Beating the Saints in the Superdome will be a difficult task for the Packers. If they play like they did this past Sunday against the Bears, they should win.
