Why wouldn't they air this game? Who knows? Maybe it's because they're facing the Cardinals? However, Aaron Rodgers merits the stats and accomplishments to pull in a great crowd even during the preseason. Okay, so he might only take a few snaps, the Packers are on of the league's mos popular teams.
Last season, Green Bay saw an early exit from the postseason despite having one of the better quarterbacks in football. Rodgers completed 371 passes for 4,295 yards and 39 touchdowns. The Packers had terrible issues running the ball as Rodgers was second in the team with 259 rushing yards and two touchdowns. However, he finished 2012 with TD passes to seven different receivers, had four receivers with over 600 yards receiving and three with over 60 receptions last season. If the Packers can find a stable running back who can get them yardage, they are automatic Super Bowl contenders.
The Cardinals teased their fan base last year. After winning four consecutive games to start the season, they lost 10 straight games, including a 17-31 loss to these same Packers, a 0-58 blowout against their division rival San Francisco 49ers and somehow squeezed in a 6-7 loss to the lowly New York Jets. They finished the season 1-11 and took last place in the NFC West. Things probably won't get easier for the Cardinals this season as the 49ers and Seattle Seahawks are once again the favorites to win the division.
It's the Cardinals vs. Packers as Lambeau Field hosts this preseason football game.
*If you consider yourself a patient fan, the NFL Network will be airing the game at 1 a.m. ET.
