GREEN BAY — Adam Stenavich could not see the future. He just knew what the Green Bay Packers offensive line had already endured this season and figured the challenges weren’t about to stop.

"We’ll take what we can from that game and try to learn from it, and apply it where we can in this upcoming game,” Packers coach Matt LaFleur said of the 38-10 loss to Tampa Bay.

On Oct. 18, the Buccaneers routed the Packers 38-10, but that was at Tampa, while Sunday's NFC title game will be at Lambeau Field as future Hall of Famers Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady meet for just the fourth time.

In the Packers' playoff-opening, 32-18 victory over the Rams at noisy — yes, noisy — Lambeau Field, the offense went up against the best defense the NFL has to offer and controlled the game from start to finish.

“I forgot how much you truly, truly miss having a crowd there," Aaron Rodgers gushed after the Packers dispatched the Rams. "It’s hard to really put into words how special that feeling is. But you can feel it. It’s so palpable.” 

Packers coach Matt LaFleur was convinced running the ball was vital to winning their NFC Divisional playoff showdown with the NFL’s No. 1 scoring defense, not only to be productive but to set up what he wanted to do in the passing game.

After being shut out of Green Bay Packers games all season because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Pat O'Connell of Chippewa Falls is thrilled to be returning to Lambeau Field this weekend.

As he prepared for Saturday’s NFC divisional playoff matchup with the Los Angeles Rams at Lambeau Field, Aaron Rodgers did so acutely aware of what a golden opportunity he and his team have before them.
