Green Bay Packers 2019 NFL Schedule Released; Has A Couple Quirks
The Green Bay Packers 2019 NFL schedule has been released. After an opener against the Bears, a couple of quirks emerge:
GREEN BAY, WI -- The Green Bay Packers are getting ready for another season. Here's the latest on where, and when, they're taking on the rest of the NFL.
Who could forget the rough-and-tumble 2018 season? That's when the Packers finished with a 6-9-1 record, good for third place in the NFC North Division. The Packers fired head coach Mike McCarthy.
The Packers installed first-year wonder Matt LaFleur to take the team into 2019.

Green Bay faces a tough two-week stretch in late October when the play in Kansas City versus the Chiefs and then a week later at the San Diego Chargers.
After a week 11 bye, Green Bay plays 2018 bottom feeders San Francisco and New York Giants. After home games against the Bears and Vikings in weeks 15 and 17 comes the season finale against the Detroit Lions, who, by many accounts, expect to be terrible again this year.
