Packers' Richard Sherman: Beware the 'pretenders'
30 Oct
Summary
- Richard Sherman urges caution for Packers despite recent wins.
- Packers have lost to top NFC North teams, Vikings and Lions.
- Sherman wants to see Packers beat a strong contender to earn praise.
Although the Green Bay Packers achieved a victory on Thursday Night Football, Richard Sherman tempered expectations, urging caution. The Packers began their season with a rough start, losing two of their first three games. However, they have since improved, winning four of their subsequent five matchups.
Sherman pointed out that the Packers' victories have come against less formidable opponents. He noted their losses to the Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions, teams currently performing well in the NFC North, where the Packers are struggling at the bottom of the division. Sherman specifically recalled the Packers' struggles against the Vikings' defense in a previous game.
He stressed that for the Packers to be considered genuine contenders, they must prove themselves against stronger teams. The upcoming game against the undefeated Vikings presents an opportunity for them to respond to earlier losses. Continued success in divisional games will be crucial for their postseason aspirations.
