NFL Week 2

The Cowboys will pay a visit to the Green Bay Packers on November 7 in hope of getting its second win in the current NFL season against the red-hot Packers.

The visiting team will have its hand full against the Packers who is seeking to retain its three-game winning streak against the Cowboys.

The game will be extra-tough for the Cowboys since they will be missing the services of superstar quarterback Tony Romo, who is suffering from a left collarbone injury.

Leading the way for the Cowboys in game is veteran NFL quarterback Jon Kitna, who will face a tough challenge against Packers superstar quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

Although much older and less skilled than Rodgers, Kitna cannot be counted out in their match-up since the latter have veteran leadership and heart in the game.

In the Cowboy’s last game against the Jacksonville Jaguars where they lost 35-17, Kitna in first start since 2008 had a huge game, going 34 of 49 for 379 yards with a touchdown.

If Kitna can duplicate his solid game against the Jaguars, the Cowboys could upset and surprise the heavily favored Packers.

The home-team Packers for its part can avoid the upset axe if Rodgers can continue his solid game in the current NFL season.

Rodgers had been instrumental in the recent wins of the Packers, who is starting to regain its NFL championship touch this year.

This developed after the Jets suffered a humiliating 0-9 defeat to the visiting Green Bay Packers to dropped to 5-2 win-loss record in the current NFL season.

With the loss the five-game winning streak of the Jets is also over as the Packers improve to a 5-2 record this year.

Packers kicker Mason Crosby played hero for his team as he scored three-field goals to hand the Jets a rare shut-out loss in the new NFL season.

The disappointing loss is the first time to happen to the Jets since they loss to the Chicago Bears 0-10 at home on  November 19,2006.

Aside from the brilliant performance of Crosby, the Packers also capitalized on its team defense to beat the Jets right on their home-arena.

The Packers also successfully handcuffed Jets superstar quarterback Mark Sanchez to stop him from having another great game just like what he did in the previous wins of his team.

In the game, Sanchez had only  16 of 38 for 256 yards and two interceptions—both on disputed calls—and had at least four passes dropped by receivers.

The total team-effort of the Packers preserved them the victory after its star quarterback Aaron Rogers had a bad game as he only finished 15 of 34 for 170 yards.

With their victory the Packers morale is very high as the current NFL seasons continues.

The loss for its part saddened the Jets team who is aiming for an NFL playoff spot and Super Bowl appearance this year.

These developed after the team is currently enjoying a relative success in the current National Football League season inspite of the various injuries suffered by some of its top players.

The Packers have a modest 3-2 win-loss record at the moment despite the fact that three of its top players are suffering from injuries.

The latest injury casualty in the Packers roster was reliable linebacker Nick Barnett, who suffered a season ending wrist injury.

Before Barnett’s injury, the Packers already lose the services of starting running back Ryan Grant is out with an ankle injury, and rookie safety Morgan Burnett tore his ACL this year.

With the latest injury, experts are saying the dream of the Packers to win the Super Bowl this year is already remove.

Packers coach Mike McCarthy downplayed such observation saying his team has the passion and determination to overcome their injuries and win the NFL crown this year.

McCarthy credited the strong performance of Packers star quarterback Aaron Rogers to the success of their team.

He said if Rogers and his teammates will continue to play great in the current NFL season getting the Super Bowl crown is very possible for his team.
