You can find the podcast at Packaday Podcast. Hope your holiday is treating you well. Hope you are safe, happy, and healthy. And from us here at the Packaday podcast to all of you, again, hope you are having a wonderful and joyous holiday season, including today on Christmas. Appreciate you guys all so much. It is a joy for me to get to do this. Today we're going to be going over Packers, Bears, Grades, which is probably not the Christmas present that you wanted to open today. But we're going to get into it.

There is some really fun stuff to diagnose from the film breakdown.

There was an offensive lineman in this game who I thought had one of the best games of his

career and maybe the best that an offensive lineman's played for Green Bay all season long.

There was a defensive player in this game who had one of the lowest grades of maybe their

career and this season so far for Green Bay as well.

So we get to both sides of those things.

Before we jump into any of that, let's get through the injury report first.

We have our, I guess not initial, our second injury report for the week as we get closer and closer to Saturday night football, Packers and Ravens, of course. Let's start with Baltimore. Really, there's just one thing that you need to know here. That's that Lamar Jackson did not practice for a second consecutive day. Now, for any of you who have been following Lamar Jackson this year, he's had a lot of mispractices and he ends up playing in the game. Usually, though, it's one mispractice per week. This would be two mispractices. Now, the first day was a walkthrough, et cetera. But this is two practices. We'll know or we'll have a better idea on Thursday if Lamar practices on Thursday. If he doesn't, that would be a potential sign that he doesn't play on Saturday. It's not a guarantee. You know, Lamar is banked enough reps in this league and is obviously an MVP, et cetera, that even if he doesn't practice, he's more than capable of going out there and playing. Also, for those of you've been paying attention, Lamar has not been Lamar this year at all. Injuries and I think other, it just, he hasn't seemed like himself,

but injuries have obviously played a major factor in that. But I'm very curious, as we've talked

about, Green Bay probably gets a little bit unlucky here in the fact that if this was a Sunday game,

it's probably a 325 game.

And if that's the case, the Steelers and the Browns would have played ahead of time.

And if the Steelers beat the Browns, the Ravens are eliminated.

And if the Ravens are eliminated, are you risking Lamar Jackson?

Are you putting them out there?

Are you, you're probably not, right?

But the Ravens do have some playoff equity left when they play this game on Saturday night. They

won't be eliminated yet. So Baltimore may, you know, try to do everything in their power to keep

those playoff odds alive as slim as they might be. Maybe Baltimore sees the writing on the wall,
