This is the Pack a Day podcast.

What's going on, everybody? Welcome into an all new episode of the Packaday podcast. I'm your host, Andy Herman. You can follow me on Twitter at Andy Herman NFL. It's a Thursday. You know what that means. I'm joined once again by the great Sam Monson. You can follow him on Twitter at PFF underscore Sam. You can find him on the PFF NFL podcast. Sam, welcome back. The Packers are somehow

six and six holding the number seven seed in the NFL playoffs. I don't know how it happened. I'm

hoping that you can enlighten us all. But how have you been and welcome back to the show. Yeah,

been good. Absolutely. It's a different mood around Green Bay now than when we were doing

this earlier in the season. Big time. It really, really has. And it's still sort of hard to put into

words. It was like, you get that win against the Chargers. The Chargers kind of coughs some

things up and you kind of take it a little bit with a grain of salt. You go into Detroit, went on

Thanksgiving and maybe you're thinking, all right, well, the lines haven't been playing the greatest.

It's a Thursday game.

Weird things happen on Thursdays.

Maybe you don't take it too seriously.

Then you follow it up with a win at home against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs.

Let's start with that most recent game.

What were your key takeaways from that Packers Chiefs game and the way that this Packers team is playing right now?

Yeah, I mean, there's a different cachet involved when you're beating the Chiefs, right?

You know, even though Detroit is a good team this year and they're expected to do things, they haven't done them yet.

And you can always put that down to, well, the Lions are still the Lions, right?

But the Chiefs are not. We know the chiefs are a good team,

even if they're not maybe where they've been the last couple of years this year, they are still

the defending Super Bowl champions. They're still a very good side. They still have Patrick Mahomes.
