Their offensive line is already battered, and their best defensive back is probably going to be out right as the Burrow offense is hitting its stride and getting Tee Higgins back. I also don't view Mixon as a critical piece, all due respect to him. It's a running back thing.
All great points and Bates being back is also huge. His range could really affect some plays for us in a great way.
I just don't know which way to go here, it is a coin flip and it landed on Green Bay.
