I\u2019m sure this will increase with the amount of fourth-down attempts that teams are taking now, but for right now, Green Bay has pulled off an NFL first.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Here is the Packers\u2019 path to their unique season.<\/p>\n<p>Carolina Panthers @ Green Bay Packers<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Packers had two turnovers in this game, a Savion Williams fumble on the 15-yard line on the team\u2019s opening drive of the game and a Jordan Love interception. Between those two drives, the Packers attempted three field goals and hit two of them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">In the fourth quarter, though, Green Bay turned it over on downs on the 13-yard line. They responded on the next drive by scoring their lone touchdown of the day, giving them a 13-13 tied score, before the Panthers drove 40 yards to kick the game-winning field goal as time expired.<\/p>\n<p>Green Bay Packers @ Chicago Bears<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The only true turnover of this game was Josh Jacobs\u2019 fumble near the goal line. With that being said, the Packers were particularly bad in the red zone in this game, as they went into the red zone five times but never came away with a touchdown.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Green Bay turned the ball over on downs on the first drive of the game and the lone drive in overtime. They also allowed the clock to expire in both the first and second halves of the game.<\/p>\n<p>Baltimore Ravens @ Green Bay Packers<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Despite Malik Willis playing well as Jordan Love\u2019s replacement starter, Green Bay just wasn\u2019t able to stop the Baltimore rushing offense. Even though the team scored 24 points, which usually is enough to be at least competitive in most NFL games, the Ravens dropped 41 on the Packers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Green Bay turned the ball over on downs twice, once in garbage time when Clayton Tune was already under center, fumbled once when the snap from Sean Rhyan came too early while Willis was attempting to audible, Tune threw an interception and the Packers also ran out the clock to end the first half. But no punts!<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Going into the playoffs, the only Green Bay player who is well-rested is punter Daniel Whelan.
