Indianapolis is a shocking 7-1 and just keeps on winning behind a dominant run game with Jonathan Taylor. The Packers beat the Steelers on Sunday Night Football to improve to 5-1-1 behind quarterback Jordan Love.
Huge games for both teams are ahead as they hope to continue on a path toward a first-round bye in the playoffs. The top seed in each conference receives a bye in the playoffs. The Packers have an eye on the Lions, who are looking strong at 5-2 and have another matchup with Green Bay on Thanksgiving.
