The Green Bay Packers qualified for the playoffs, but their run in the NFC has been disappointing. The team lost their last two games, and will now play the Philadelphia Eagles in the Wild Card Round. There has been some suspicion about the team after the end of their season.

Fox Sports analyst Chris Broussard seems to be concerned about their path. Broussard, who picked the Packers to win the conference before the start of the season, is unsure if Green Bay can win three straight games, especially after they suffered a major injury problem in Week 18:

I'm terrified. I'm distressed. My stomach is in knots. Christian Watson is the deep threat. He's gone. He's the deep threat. Jordan [Love] wasn't looking great to begin with. Let's say Hurts is playing and he's fine. I actually feel good about Green Bay's chances of beating Philadelphia. because I think Philly, as good as they are, sometimes can be iffy. I get that, but I think the Packers can go in there and win that game. My pick, though, was to get them to Super Bowl. So to win three games... it's tough for them to get to Super Bowl.

Christian Watson's injury takes away some of the Packers' well-known wide receiver depth. He finished the season with 620 receiving yards and two touchdowns, but none of the other players possess the same deep threat as him.

What's the playoff path for the Green Bay Packers?

If they want to make it to the Super Bowl, Matt LaFleur's team already knows their first two opponents: they'll start their run against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, and if they win this game, they'll automatically play the Detroit Lions in the Divisional Round due to seeding rules.

A real concern is Green Bay's performance against the best teams in the conference. Combined, they played five games against the Philadelphia Eagles, the Minnesota Vikings and the Detroit Lions, and lost all five of them. There's a good chance that Love's team could play these three teams en route to the Super Bowl, and they won't be afforded any losses.
